#BTC☀ What will happen with Bitcoin? While gold is on the rise, Bitcoin, often referred to as 'digital gold', shows ambiguous dynamics. Since the beginning of the year, the cryptocurrency has lost about 10%, while the precious metal has gained 20%, noted Anthony Papiliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management. However, over the last 12 months, the gap is not that large — during this period, both assets have appreciated by about 35%.

Papiliano named several reasons why BTC might soon replicate the current dynamics of gold. Among them:

plans by the US government to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve;

increasing acceptance of cryptocurrency by the younger generation, which is choosing it as a long-term investment.

"Based on historical data, BTC's returns will soar above gold in the coming months," predicts the expert.

Bitcoin indeed follows gold with a lag of about 100 days, especially in conditions of increasing global liquidity. Optimism is also boosted by the fact that in the first quarter of 2025, institutional investors acquired over 95,400 BTC, indicating their strong interest in the cryptocurrency.
