Bitcoin\u2019s\u00a0market value reached $1 trillion for the first time, a surge that\u2019s helping cryptocurrency returns far outstrip the performance of more traditional assets like stocks and gold, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The largest digital-asset has added more than $450 billion of value in 2021 to more than $1 trillion, data compiled by Bloomberg show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, which includes Bitcoin and four other coins, has more than doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speculators, corporate treasurers and institutional investors are thought to have stoked Bitcoin\u2019s volatile ascent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crypto believers are dueling with skeptics for the dominant narrative around the climb: the former see an asset being embraced for its ability to hedge risks such as inflation, while the latter sense a precarious mania riding atop waves of monetary and fiscal stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the argument has been made that assigning a market capitalization isn\u2019t an accurate representation since Bitcoin isn\u2019t a company or even an asset. Skeptics say without real-world assets that companies possess or government backing like the dollar, all investors are really buying into is faith in the cryptocurrency\u2019s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crypto index\u2019s performance towers over stocks, gold, commodities and bonds in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month,\u00a0Tesla Inc.\u00a0disclosed a $1.5 billion investment and\u00a0MicroStrategy Inc.\u00a0boosted a sale\u00a0of convertible bonds to $900 million to buy even more of the token. That brought the coin closer to corporate America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
