📊 $BTC vs GOLD — The Story of 2025
Let’s analyze the year 👇
If we only look at price, Gold beat Bitcoin in 2025.
🥇 Gold: +65% (one of its best years)
🟠 Bitcoin: −7% by year close
🖇️ By August, both assets were nearly tied.
Then inflation fears intensified — gold exploded as a safe haven, while Bitcoin corrected ~36% from October highs.
But here’s the part almost no one talks about 👀
👇👇👇
🏦 Institutional behavior tells a different story
1️⃣ Record inflows
Despite BTC underperforming in price, Bitcoin ETFs attracted MORE new capital than Gold ETFs.
➡️ Institutions were buying the dip, not chasing performance.
2️⃣ Diamond hands 💎
Bitcoin dropped 36%, yet ETF AUM fell only ~4%.
➡️ Pension funds, banks, and large allocators did not panic sell.
3️⃣ BlackRock dominance
🦍 IBIT now controls ~60% of the BTC ETF market
📦 Holdings nearing 780,000 BTC — and still accumulating.
🔖 The real takeaway
🟡 Gold won the price battle in 2025
🟠 Bitcoin won the maturity battle
Wall Street didn’t treat BTC as a trade — they treated it as a long-term asset.
That shift is massive.
🔮 Question for 2026:
Will Bitcoin reclaim lost ground against gold?
