Bitcoin vs. Nasdaq 100: Performance Varies with Timeframe

News Flash 2026-05-14 16:41

Bitcoin's performance compared to the Nasdaq 100 varies significantly depending on the timeframe analyzed. Over the past five years, the Nasdaq 100 has outperformed Bitcoin, rising 121% compared to Bitcoin's 43% increase. However, when examining different periods, Bitcoin often leads. From the pandemic bottom in March 2020 to now, Bitcoin surged 1,279%, while the Nasdaq 100 increased by 314%. Similarly, since the FTX collapse in November 2022, Bitcoin rose 400% compared to the Nasdaq's 152% gain. The volatility of Bitcoin, a classic cyclical asset, contrasts with the steady growth of the Nasdaq 100, which consists of large, non-financial companies. This difference in volatility means that the starting point of analysis can significantly affect the perceived performance of each asset. Despite recent narratives favoring U.S. tech stocks, Bitcoin's historical cycles suggest potential for future gains, especially when current market conditions are considered.
