Bitcoin (BTC) Will Outperform Gold (XAU) in 2025

Mar 15, 2025 at 05:37 pm

Bitcoin is one of the cryptos that have benefited hugely from the shift in political attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry.

Bitcoin (BTC) Will Outperform Gold (XAU) in 2025

input: Despite the impressive performance of cryptocurrencies in 2024, their upward momentum has started to slow down since the beginning of 2025. Like the majority of the top ten cryptos, Bitcoin (BTC) has also seen its YTD change in the red.

The YTD change of BTC is -10.2%. In the last seven days alone, the Bitcoin price has decreased by over 2.71%. However, Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee predicted that Bitcoin would become the best-performing asset class of the year. He even asserted that BTC would outperform gold in 2025. Unbelievable, isn’t it? Let’s dive deep!

Bitcoin Will Outperform Gold in 2025

In the previous year, the gold price reported a rise of 27.44%. Meanwhile, during the same period, the Bitcoin price registered a surge of at least +121.1%.

Though BTC strongly outperformed XAU in 2024, the crypto, popularly known as digital gold, struggled to maintain its growth pace in the first quarter of 2025.

The YTD change of gold is nearly 13.7%, but the YTD of Bitcoin is -10.2%.

Bitcoin’s poor performance in the first quarter has raised questions about its potential to challenge the dominance of Gold in the market as the most trusted store of value.

However, Lee predicted that the Bitcoin market would outperform the gold market this year.

Bitcoin’s Performance in 2025 So Far

At the start of 2025, the price of BTC was at $93,536.41. In January, the BTC market experienced a moderate growth of 9.54%. However, in February, the market saw a significant drop of -17.55%.

The MTD of BTC stands at -0.48%.

At the beginning of this month, the price of Bitcoin was at $84,381.04. In the first two days of the month, the market witnessed a rise of 11.68%. At one point on March 2, the market reached as high as $95,048.73.

This month, the market has recorded two major corrections: an 8.5% drop on March 3 and a 13.25% decline between March 6 and 10. The market has not yet fully recovered from these corrections.

Currently, the BTC price remains at $83,873 – at least 13.32% below the peak of the month.

Lee’s Bold Prediction for 2025

According to Lee, the price of Bitcoin would reach as high as $150,000 in the year 2025. It appears that this analyst is extremely optimistic about the future prospects of the BTC market.

An analysis of the previous Bitcoin price predictions of Lee indicates that he has a mixed record in BTC predictions.

However, Lee is a very respected figure in the financial sector. Fundstrat, the organisation he co-founded, is one of the most prestigious independent financial research firms.
