Bitcoin Surges 13,693% Over Ten Years Compared to Gold’s 156% Gain

Bitcoin has increased by 13,693% over the last decade, far outpacing gold's 156% gain from April 2015 to April 2025. This significant rise has drawn global investor attention.

Bitcoin Vs. Gold: Divergence in Performance

  • In April 2015, Bitcoin was priced between $200 and $250, while gold ranged from $1,200 to $1,300 per ounce.
  • As of April 2025, Bitcoin has surged to about $84,000, with a peak near $109,000 during this period.
  • Gold remains stable but offers low volatility and consistent value protection against inflation.

Historical Growth Patterns

  • Gold rose from $20.67 per ounce in 1933 to approximately $3,330 in 2025.
  • Bitcoin’s price increased from $1 in 2011 to $84,000 by 2025.

Market Size Disparity

  • Gold’s market capitalization is over $22 trillion, providing stability.
  • Bitcoin's market cap stands at around $1.667 trillion, making it more sensitive to capital flows.
  • A $1 trillion increase in gold’s market cap resulted in minimal percentage movement compared to a similar boost in Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin experienced a $1 trillion rise in market capitalization, its price could potentially jump from $84,000 to $135,000.
