Bitcoin

Spot

<p>The SEC gives the green light to Bitcoin Spot ETFs, and it’s a gold rush for bitcoins orchestrated by the magicians of financial assets. According to our counters, ARK Invest has managed to stack up 17,790 BTC so far. Cathie Wood, the mastermind behind the ARKB ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, unveils her latest annual report, where she pulls out of her hat a BTC price forecast flirting with the 2 million dollar mark. Quite the spectacle!</p>

<p>The market prophets predicted that <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-the-sec-has-finally-approved-spot-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the SEC’s approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs</a> on January 10th would trigger a bullish frenzy for the queen of cryptos. But lo and behold, BTC only climbed briefly around the $49,000 mark before falling back below $40,000. General disappointment!</p>

<p>However, we concede that BTC trackers have accelerated the multiplication of bitcoins among the big whales of Spot ETFs <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/blackrock-and-bitcoin-etfs-absorb-massive-outflows-from-grayscale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">such as BlackRock</a>, Fidelity, Grayscale, and ARK Invest. And speaking of ARK Invest, their latest batch of nuggets reveals that the rules of the game have been completely turned upside down in the kingdom of institutional investors and their little BTC nest egg.</p>

<p>The chart above suggests that:</p>
<ul>
 <li>1% bitcoin allocation as a global investable asset allows for a BTC prediction of about $120,000;</li>
 <li>4.8% average allocation rhymes with $550,000 per BTC (average maximum Sharpe Ratio of 2015-2023);</li>
 <li>and 19.4% BTC allocation equates to $2.3 million (maximum Sharpe Ratio of 2023, rolling 5-year horizon).</li>

<h2 id="h-hodling-will-always-pay-off">HODLing Will Always Pay Off</h2>
<p>Here’s how ARK Invest’s experts view the long-term holding (or HODLING) of bitcoins.</p>
<p>“<em>The volatility of bitcoin can mask its long-term returns. Significant appreciation or depreciation can happen in the short term, but a long-term investment horizon has been the key to investing in bitcoin. Rather than pondering ‘when,’ it’s better to consider ‘for how long.’ Historically, investors who have bought and held bitcoin for at least 5 years have profited from it, regardless of the date.</em>“</p>
<p>It goes to show that HODLing pays off, even if it requires patience.</p>
