Bitcoin Will Outperform Gold This Year – Tom Lee

Tom Lee of Fundstrat recently shared his bold prediction that Bitcoin will outshine gold this year, despite its lackluster performance in the first quarter.

Speaking on a podcast, Lee expressed confidence that Bitcoin would emerge as the top-performing asset class, even surpassing gold. He emphasized that Bitcoin remains his top pick for 2025, despite its recent fluctuations.

Earlier today, Bitcoin saw a rise to $85,000, but it still lags over 20% behind its all-time high. On the other hand, gold has been performing strongly, hitting a new all-time high after a solid start to the year, outpacing Bitcoin’s performance in the first quarter.

Lee’s outlook for Bitcoin extends beyond this year, as he previously predicted the cryptocurrency could exceed $150,000 in 2025. While his past predictions have been met with mixed results, Lee’s influence as a Bitcoin analyst remains significant.

Reflecting on his journey, Lee recalled his first encounters with Bitcoin during his time at JPMorgan when the network’s value was just $20 billion.

He was particularly intrigued by the cryptocurrency’s meteoric rise in 2017, which led Fundstrat to publish its first Bitcoin report when the asset was priced around $1,000.
