Wall Street veteran and The Big Bitcoin Book author Fred Krueger has shared a chart comparing different asset classes in terms of returns they generated.

And guess which asset topped the chart?

Well... Bitcoin.

Yes, Bitcoin beat several well-established and well-trusted assets like the S&P 500 index, Nasdaq, gold, real estate, and 10-year U.S. Treasury.

Of course, it beat the U.S. dollar too.

If we look at real return after factoring in 7% inflation and 20% capital gains tax, Bitcoin generated the maximum return among all the assets.

As per Krueger's calculation, Bitcoin generated a 46.2% return during the 10-year period.

In contrast, the S&P 500, the benchmark index of the U.S. stock market, generated a return of only 2% during the same period.

NASDAQ was slightly better than the S&P 500, generating a 4% return.

Gold, the precious metal that Bitcoin is often called the digital version of, generated only a 0.5% return.

Investing in the other listed assets would have generated a negative return, the chart showed.

Real estate in the U.S.: -1%

10-year Treasury: -4%

U.S. dollar: -7%

Krueger said,

"Pick your weapon."

Bitcoin's price was only slightly below $800 around the beginning of January 2014. Over the next 10 years, it grew 132 times to reach above $106,000 toward the end of December 2024. It even hit an all-time high (ATH) of $124,457.12 on Aug. 14.

As per Kraken's price feed, Bitcoin was trading at $109,053.02 at the time of writing.
