Digital gold or fool’s gold?

Bitcoin’s recent 18% plunge over 24 hours has sparked a heated debate about its suitability as a reserve asset.

Michael Brescia, CEO and Co-Founder of Cerus Markets, argues that this volatility should serve as a stark warning against suggestions to include Bitcoin in U.S. treasury holdings.

Compared to gold’s modest 2% dip, Bitcoin’s roller-coaster performance highlights the stark contrast between traditional and digital assets.

Uncle Sam’s golden cushion

The U.S. maintains a unique position in the global economy, thanks in part to its substantial gold reserves—a whopping 70% of its central bank holdings.

This golden safety net, combined the strength of the U.S. dollar, continues to make America a safe haven for investors worldwide.

Brescia points out that this stability stands in sharp contrast to countries like Japan, which holds a mere 4.3% of its reserves in gold and recently experienced its worst stock market day in history.

Too hot to handle

Brescia emphasizes that Bitcoin remains a high-risk asset, unsuitable for national reserves.

He draws a parallel to other volatile investments, questioning why Bitcoin should be considered when even blue-chip stocks like Apple aren’t part of the reserve discussion.

While Bitcoin’s future potential is acknowledged, its current market cap—less than one-fifteenth that of gold—suggests it’s far from ready for such a crucial role in national financial security.
