After Recent Surge, How Close Is Bitcoin to Surpassing Gold? Here’s the Level BTC Needs to Reach to Surpass Gold
Following the recent strong rise, investors' eyes have once again turned to the comparison of Bitcoin and gold.
The market capitalization of Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, currently stands at $2.34 trillion, compared to $23.22 trillion for gold.
According to the current chart, Bitcoin has reached approximately 10.09% of gold's market capitalization. Analysis suggests that for Bitcoin to surpass gold, its price would need to rise to $1,166,511. This represents a roughly tenfold increase compared to Bitcoin's current price.
When examining the price movements in recent years, Bitcoin has performed much stronger than gold:
- 5 years: BTC +892%, Gold +72%
- 3 years: BTC +387%, Gold +95%
- 2 years: BTC +304%, Gold +76%
- 1 year: BTC +104%, Gold +36%
Looking at the performance since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has returned 25.9% and gold has returned 27.38%.
Bitcoin's annual supply growth (inflation) is 0.83%, while gold's is 1.72%. Bitcoin's halving, which occurs approximately every four years, means more limited supply growth in the long term. Gold's production, however, is dependent on mining capacity and recycling rates.
