Yet, amidst the turbulence, Bitcoin has proven to be the standout performer, still outpacing every other asset class.
According to recent data from Bloomberg and NYDIG, Bitcoin has delivered a staggering 19.4% return since the election, even with a dip from its peak of 53.7%.
Crypto Outshines Traditional Assets in Post-Election Market
This resilience highlights why cryptocurrency continues to capture the imagination of investors looking to diversify their portfolios. While Bitcoin holds the top spot, other assets have struggled to keep pace. Gold, a traditional safe haven, saw a modest 6.7% return, falling short of its peak at 7.8%.
Equity markets, such as the EAFE Equities, managed a 4.7% gain, while sector-specific investments like Communication Services (3.8%) and Financials (2.6%) lagged further. High-yield corporate bonds and short-term U.S. Treasury notes each posted a 1.9% return, barely keeping their heads above water. Meanwhile, more volatile sectors like Energy (-1.7%) and Healthcare (-2.4%) have taken a hit, with large-cap growth equities dropping 2.5% from their peak of 18.1%.

The real story, however, lies in the broader pullback. Assets like Technology (-6.5%), Materials (-8.9%), and Small Cap Value (-9.8%) have seen significant declines, with Small Cap Growth plunging 10.8%. Even stalwarts like Long-term U.S. Treasury bonds (-0.8%) and Emerging Market Equities (-2.8%) couldn’t escape the downturn. This widespread retreat suggests a market catching its breath after an election-fueled surge, but Bitcoin’s ability to hold strong sets it apart.
Investors might wonder if this is a fluke, but Bitcoin’s performance aligns with its reputation as a “digital gold” that thrives in uncertain times. While traditional assets like real estate (-4.3%) and commodities (0.1%) struggle to regain footing, Bitcoin has kicked the can down the road, proving its staying power. Its decentralized nature and limited supply continue to draw those betting on long-term growth, even as volatility (18.3%) reminds us of the risks.
