Gold

<p>Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano appeared on Fox Business to argue that traditional assets like stocks and gold are losing significant value when measured against Bitcoin, reinforcing his view of BTC as the ultimate benchmark for wealth preservation.</p>
<p>Speaking about market performance since 2020, Pompliano highlighted that while Bitcoin has risen over 1,500%, other major assets have lagged behind dramatically when denominated in BTC. “The S&amp;P 500 is up about 100% in dollar terms since January 2020,” he said. “But when you compare it to Bitcoin, it’s actually down 88%.”</p>

<p>He applied the same reasoning to gold, noting that although the precious metal has gained around 150% in dollar terms, it has fallen 84% in Bitcoin terms over the same period. “It kind of comes back to this idea of what is your hurdle rate,” Pompliano said.</p>
<p>“Are you trying to outperform dollars, or are you trying to outperform a finite asset that can’t be debased?”</p>

<p>Pompliano emphasized that Bitcoin’s scarcity, capped at 21 million coins, makes it a unique reference point for assessing real asset performance. “For me, Bitcoin is the hurdle rate,” he explained. “If you can’t beat it, you should own it.”</p>
<p>The segment, titled Bitcoin’s Safe-Haven Status, underscores the growing narrative that Bitcoin is emerging as the ultimate store of value, outperforming traditional safe-haven assets even amid global market volatility.</p>
