Anthony Pompliano, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, sees Bitcoin as a “supercharged” version of gold.
In a recent interview, the Pomp Investments founder pointed out that the weakening of the U.S. dollar favors both gold and Bitcoin, but he believes Bitcoin is likely to outperform due to rising interest and adoption. Comparing growth rates, he highlighted that Bitcoin’s gains have far outpaced gold and the S&P 500 over the last five years.
According to Pompliano, Bitcoin’s growth is unique because adoption began with individuals, spreading later to corporations and institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity.
He anticipates central banks might eventually join this trend, similar to their current 12% share in global gold reserves—a move he believes would boost Bitcoin’s price even further.
Pompliano also predicts people will increasingly rely on Bitcoin and stablecoins for wealth storage. He likened stablecoins to checking accounts and Bitcoin to a digital savings account, noting that most Bitcoin holders don’t move their funds, showing long-term confidence.
He added that on-chain data reveals over half of all Bitcoin hasn’t been moved in two years, even as its value tripled.
BlackRock has revised its crypto ETF documentation to address both long-term risks and product efficiency.
Bitcoin is once again testing fresh highs after climbing past $104,000, reigniting optimism across the crypto space.
BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, is emerging as the dominant player in the digital asset space, pulling in billions while competitors trail far behind.
While a growing number of public companies have taken bold steps to load their balance sheets with Bitcoin, Coinbase — one of the industry’s most prominent names — has deliberately avoided following that path, citing long-term risk management and customer alignment as key reasons.
