In 2025, Bitcoin Fell 6% And Gold Rose 65%—But Cathie Wood Says BTC Will Win In 2026

  • Last year, Bitcoin fell 6% while gold surged 65%, and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said Bitcoin will win in 2026 because gold hit valuations only seen once in 125 years.
  • Supply dynamics explain Bitcoin's supply code-locked growth of 1.3% annually, creating scarcity advantage while gold, as measured by NYSE:GLD, rallied 166% since October 2022 as gold miners increase output.
  • In its financial models, ARK shows $1,200,000 per coin would imply a market capitalization of $25.2 trillion and would exceed Nvidia's $4.5 trillion value by about five times.
  • Portfolio allocators gain diversification from Bitcoin because it moves independently of equities, bonds, and gold, offering portfolio protection despite a rough 2025.
  • If Ark's scenario holds, institutional investors could allocate about 6.5% of their assets, or about $13 trillion, to Bitcoin, potentially capturing $19 trillion of gold reserves valued at about $32 trillion.
