š The long-term outlook for Bitcoin just got a major vote of confidence from Wall Street. Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, says Bitcoin is set to be the best-performing major asset class over the next 10 years, with expected annualized returns of about 28.3% per year.
š What Hougan Said
In Bitwiseās upcoming Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report, Hougan projects:
Bitcoin returns: ~28.3% annually (often rounded to ā30%ā)
Volatility: Still higher than traditional assets, but gradually declining
Performance: Outpacing stocks, bonds, and even other alternative assets
His forecast suggests Bitcoin isnāt just a short-term tradeāitās shaping up as a strategic long-term investment.
š Why It Matters
1. Institutional Adoption ā ETFs, pensions, and national platforms are treating Bitcoin as a core allocation.
2. Shift Beyond Halvings ā The old four-year cycle is fading; long-term adoption and capital flows are taking over as growth drivers.
3. Risk-Reward Profile ā Even with higher volatility, 28%+ annual returns put BTC far ahead of most asset classes.
