Bitcoin (BTC) gained more than gold after a 2018 U.S. stock market trough, but its much steeper losses in two selected selloffs show the assets have played different portfolio roles. From Dec. 28, 2021, to Oct. 14, 2022, U.S. equities fell 24.18% and Bitcoin dropped 59.87%. Gold lost 8.95%. In a second selloff, from Feb. 3 to April 8, 2025, equities declined 16.66% and Bitcoin fell 24.39%, while gold gained 5.97%. Gold held up better than stocks and Bitcoin in both periods, though it did not rise in both.
