Bitcoin has outperformed every major asset class, stock, and index for over a decade—and it’s just getting started.
Since its creation in 2009, Bitcoin has grown from a few cents to over $100,000. It has delivered returns that leave tech giants and gold in the dust.
When you zoom out, Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, the S&P 500, and even gold look like flat lines.
Bitcoin doesn’t just outperform—it redefines performance.
Bitcoin’s exponential rise isn’t speculative hype—it’s the result of engineered scarcity, perfect supply discipline, decentralised security, and growing global adoption.
Its growth mirrors the adoption curve of the internet, yet its economic impact may be even more profound. As more individuals and institutions realise the failures of fiat, they turn to Bitcoin—not as a trade, but as a lifeboat.
Volatility is often misunderstood. It’s the natural byproduct of a new asset monetising in real time, from zero to global reserve contender.
Every disruptive technology—electricity, internet, mobile phones—followed the same explosive pattern. Bitcoin is no different.
But unlike those technologies, Bitcoin isn’t just innovative—it’s unconfiscatable, borderless, and immune to central control.
Bitcoin’s growth is slowing—but that’s not a bad thing. As it matures, volatility dampens, and its trajectory shifts from explosive gains to long-term capital preservation.
Those who understand its asymmetric upside today will be those who own the financial foundation of tomorrow.
The chart below compares Bitcoin’s performance to some of the most celebrated companies and assets in the world with percentage gains since Bitcoin was born (the chart data dates back to 1 October 2009, Bitcoin was born 3rd January 2009):
Amazon 3,133%
Nvidia 39,154%
Apple 2,833%
Gold 218%
The S&P 500 (SPY) 445%
The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) 1092 %
Bitcoin 13,483,316,758%
They barely register in comparison and look like flat lines at the bottom of the chart. This is not opinion—it’s math.
