Two assets long marketed as safe havens have both landed at the bottom of 2026 performance rankings, reports say. Bitcoin and gold have both been named the worst-performing major assets of 2026, according to reports from U.Today and BeInCrypto. Both outlets describe the simultaneous underperformance as a historic first for the two assets. Gold and bitcoin have traditionally occupied similar roles in investor portfolios. Both are frequently marketed as stores of value that hold up when stocks, bonds, or currencies come under pressure. Gold has carried that reputation for centuries.
