Gold Leads the Rally: Why Bitcoin’s Structural Setup Still Matters
Cryptocurrency News
Bitcoin significantly underperformed gold over the past year, falling
~13% while gold surged nearly
100%. Yet beneath the price divergence,
structural differences between BTC and gold are drawing renewed attention.
Bitcoin Supply: Fixed, Predictable, Non-Responsive to Price
Unlike gold,
Bitcoin’s issuance does
not respond to higher prices.
-
BTC has a hard cap of 21 million, with ~93% already mined
-
Annual inflation sits near 0.81%, projected to fall to ~0.41% after the 2028 halving
-
Miners can adjust operations but cannot increase supply
By contrast, gold production expands when prices rise. Global gold output climbed from ~2,300 tons in 1995 to a
record 3,672 tons in 2025, diluting supply over time.
Key takeaway: BTC’s scarcity tightens structurally gold’s does not.
Market Size Matters: Small Reallocations, Large Impact
Gold’s market capitalization (~
$41.7T) still dwarfs
Bitcoin price, which represents only
~4.3% of gold’s size.
This asymmetry matters:
-
Investors already allocating to gold for currency risk, geopolitics, or long-term purchasing power may only need to shift a small fraction toward BTC
-
Even marginal reallocations can translate into outsized percentage moves
Theoretical modeling suggests:
-
A 5% rotation from gold into BTC could imply >$2T in inflows
-
That would equate to a BTC market cap increase of ~116%, implying prices near $190K+
CoinTR Insight
This isn’t about Bitcoin “beating” gold, it’s about
how capital moves across hard assets over time. Gold absorbs fear-driven flows first. Bitcoin’s
fixed supply, declining issuance, and smaller scale mean it doesn’t need dominance, only participation to matter.

deep liquidity and
stable TRY–USDT flow help users:
-
track long-term structural themes without chasing short-term noise,
-
manage BTC exposure with flexibility,
-
stay positioned for potential rotation phases.
Forward-Looking Takeaway
-
Gold leads during uncertainty
-
BTC’s fundamentals strengthen quietly in the background
-
Even partial capital rotation could have disproportionate impact
