According to VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, Bitcoin investments as a store of value need to be doubled. The executive assures that 2025 will be a year of important movements for the cryptocurrency market. He adds that gold and the largest cryptocurrency are indispensable assets for any investor's portfolio.
By 2025, the largest digital currency is expected to take over a large part of Wall Street's portfolios. For van Eck, this is a fundamental measure that could translate into advantages for those who adopt it. According to experts, BTC will continue its long-term upward trend.
In fact, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor says that in the long term the coin will be worth $13 million per unit. Therefore, placing capital in the coin could become an effective strategy in the face of macroeconomic events that generally harm fiat currencies.
In a report , the aforementioned executive stresses that increasing investments in Bitcoin is an issue that must be addressed in 2025. He emphasizes that this strategy should also be extended to assets such as gold. Judging by this request, the entrepreneur surely suspects that difficult times are approaching for traditional markets.
Bitcoin investments accelerate among Wall Street portfolios
1. Since 2024, institutional portfolios have been increasing their appetite for the queen of cryptocurrencies. The IPO of BTC spot ETFs became a notably important phenomenon for the digital currency market. Meanwhile, the decisive action of corporations also caused a huge boost in interest in BTC.
2. The massive purchases by MicroStrategy, Marathon and other companies have become a major stimulus. However, for the director of VanEck, the investments so far experienced are not enough to allow BTC to protect capital from large portfolios.
3. It is important to note that some firms remain hesitant about storing capital in Bitcoin. At this point, van Eck stresses that it is important to store capital in other assets that serve the same reserve function, such as gold and other metals.
According to the expert, potential economic shocks such as inflation create uncertainty in the markets. However, these can be minimized by the current upward trend in reserve assets. « The bull markets in gold and Bitcoin are supported by inflationary pressures, fiscal uncertainty and de-dollarization trends ,» the report notes.
