Bitcoin’s Secret Bargain: It’s Cheaper Than Gold, But Not for Long!

by

Here’s the Gist:

  • JPMorgan says Bitcoin is like that underpriced vintage wine compared to gold.
  • Corporate wallets now hold over 6% of Bitcoin’s stash. Passive flows are helping smooth things out. Just like a cup of chamomile tea.
  • The bank’s fancy models predict a rise for Bitcoin. Spoiler: They think it’s going up, not down.

So, Bitcoin’s got this weird thing going on: It’s trading at a discount compared to gold-JPMorgan says it’s practically a steal. 😂

According to the big shots at JPMorgan, Bitcoin’s six-month rolling volatility has dropped faster than a hot potato-down from a wild 60% to a much tamer 30%. In plain English, that means Bitcoin’s having a chill moment.

And guess what? It’s only twice as volatile as gold now-barely enough to get your heart racing! That’s the lowest the gap has ever been. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of Bitcoin cooling down.

And because of this, Bitcoin’s looking more appealing to those big, fancy portfolios. Institutions are lining up like it’s the latest iPhone drop.

By the bank’s crystal ball (a.k.a. their volatility-adjusted models), Bitcoin’s market cap should get a 13% boost, which means Bitcoin might hit $126,000. That’s $16,000 more than it’s worth right now, so yes, it’s got room to grow. 🤑

The analysts at JPMorgan think that corporate treasuries (you know, the suits in charge of company money) are snapping up Bitcoin like it’s Black Friday, now owning 6% of the total supply. Just like how central banks used to buy bonds and calm down the whole economy-except with less paperwork and more fun.

These corporate giants are also getting a shiny upgrade with equity index inclusion, meaning more passive money is flooding in like a tidal wave of cash. 📈

Take Metaplanet (3350)-it just got promoted to the big leagues with FTSE Russell’s mid-cap category. Then there’s Nasdaq-listed Kindly MD (NAKA), which is raising billions after dropping a $679 million Bitcoin purchase. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!

Oh, and newcomers like Adam Back’s firm are eyeing a spot on the throne, ready to take on the likes of MARA Holdings (MARA) and Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin empire. It’s a battle royale, folks!
