Vaneck’s investment firm reaffirmed its upward paper on Bitcoin (BTC), highlighting the combination of structural and macroeconomic factors that integrate digital assets as a better alternative to gold as a reserve for value.
It is titled in your analysis “Bitcoin investment case”the company argues that the essential properties of Bitcoin have been added to the growing institutional and technical adoption. They strengthen long-term possibilities for precious metals.
The report highlights the limited issuance of Bitcoin, up to 21 million units. Establish scheduled shortages that can raise prices over time.
This supply limit is also strengthened by the “harving” event, reducing half of the new Bitcoin emissions rates around every four years. Recent cuts occurred in April 2024, and previous cycles indicate that these events typically precede periods of significant price increases.
The fourth half of Bitcoin occurred on April 19, 2024 at a height of block 840,000. After that episode, Bitcoin Mine Rewards reduced to 3.125 BTCcurrently equivalent to USD 350,000.
The following graph provided by Vaneck can be seen in Bitcoin’s performance increase after 90 and 180 days, as well as one year after the final halving.
Coverage for inflation
From a financial standpoint, Vanek contrasts Bitcoin’s anti-inflammatory architecture with the unprecedented expansion of Fíat Money’s supply following the Covid-19 pandemic.
This expansion eroded the purchasing power of the country’s currency, but Bitcoin served as compensation for inflation rather than being subject to central bank or fiscal policy decisions.
The above is reinforced by that fact, Bitcoin has increased by 1,465% since 2020which has shifted from $7,700 at the beginning of the year to the current US$115,000, with a clear upward trend.
In contrast, the Dollar Index has severe fluctuations, and at this time there is no accumulation of some surprising yields. In January 2020, DXY was in 1998. Monday, August 4th, 2025, exactly the same. However, there was an explosive and significant increase in Interín.
Increased recruitment
Meanwhile, the company has also highlighted significant evolutions in Bitcoin adoption from its founding to date. The company proposed that Bitcoin usage has increased significantly, as it was initially limited to small groups of technology users.
Vaneck notices developing accessible wallets, efficient exchange platforms, and infrastructure that enables daily use. This evolution, they said, is key to incorporating both retail and institutional users.
Regarding corporate profits, the document shows that approximately $190 million in Bitcoin is currently under control of funds cited in the Stock Market (ETF), government, and public and private companies. This growth in institutional tenure is interpreted by Vanek as follows: Indications of the consolidation of assets as part of a diverse wallet.
In fact, since January 2024, the US Stock Exchange and the Securities Commission have approved Bitcoin ETF negotiations in cash. Corporate entities are deployed directly into the ecosystemas reported by Cryptootics, to the point that affects the price of BTC in the market.
Currently, the ETF controls 1.3 million bitcoins, equivalent to 6.5% of the total currency supply. Plus, daily purchases and sales of BTC are massive. Hundreds of millions of dollars of Bitcoin negotiates every day Through these instruments. This can be seen in the following Sosovalue chart:
The report also identifies technology developments that can accelerate future adoption. One of them is an extension of a second layer solution, such as Lightning Network.allowing for faster speeds and lower costs than the main network.
Vaneck also highlights the potential of the RGB protocol. This allows you to issue and manage digital assets on the Bitcoin network. Includes actions, bonds, real estate, or other cryptocurrencies. This type of innovation could open new channels of use and diversification into the same infrastructure, expanding the role of Bitcoin within the financial ecosystem, the company said.
Same but different
In the face of these advances, the comparison with gold is central. Both assets share properties such as shortages, but Vanek has identified certain benefits in favour of Bitcoin.
One of them is its dispersibility. Physical gold has a limited number of fractions in small transactions; Bitcoin can be divided into 100 million unitsmaking it easy to pay for any size.
Another point the company emphasized is transparency. All Bitcoin transactions are publicly available and can be verified in real time via the network. According to Vaneck, this traceability significantly reduces the risk of manipulation and fraud.
In contrast, gold trade is often carried out without detailed public records regarding buyers, sellers, or prices. It introduces uncertainty and prevents its authenticity from being verified.
At a historic performance level, this report presents figures that strengthen the idea of Bitcoin as a highly profitable asset. According to data as of June 30, 2025, The amount of returns accumulated over 10 years has exceeded 35,000%. Even on the shorter horizon, the results are noteworthy. It’s 122% in one year, 99% in three years, and over 1,200% in five years.
Also, although the high volatility of BTC is recognized, Vaneck argues that medium allocations in traditional portfolios (which are primarily composed of actions and bonds) can improve performance tailored to risk.
From the vision of the investment strategy, Vanek says that Bitcoin can play a related role as an unbreakable active. This reveals that in an inflationary or vast monetary policy environment where Fear’s money is diluted, Bitcoin offers alternative shelters that are not dependent on central authorities and are not affected by political measures.
The analysis concludes that gold has historically been a valuable shelter, but that limits on division and transparency could reduce the competitiveness against Bitcoin in the current situation. With expanding, diversifying and growing use and institutional support of infrastructure, Vanek believes that Bitcoin is becoming more prominent As a value reserve for the next few decades.
