Investment firm JPMorgan predicts that Bitcoin will surpass gold as an asset class by the second half of 2025. This prediction is based on several factors, including increased corporate investment in Bitcoin and supportive regulations from U.S. states. JPMorgan’s analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou highlights that corporations are increasingly integrating Bitcoin onto their balance sheets, signaling growing acceptance of digital assets as part of their investments. 2025 has also seen the price of Bitcoin surge by 18% while gold has experienced a decline of 8%. The report argues that these trends indicate a shift in investment strategies toward digital currencies and potential future growth of crypto markets. State-level regulations in states like Texas and Florida have also contributed to this environment, creating favorable conditions for the growth of Bitcoin’s adoption.
