‘7 out of 7 times’ – Why Bitcoin beats Gold and S&P 500 in every crisis

The article argues Bitcoin (BTC) has outperformed traditional safe-haven and risk assets in seven major crises from 2020–2026, citing 60-day return comparisons that show BTC consistently bouncing back faster than gold and the S&P 500. Examples include BTC +20% after the Jan 3, 2020 US–Iran escalation and +21% during the March 2020 COVID crash, while gold and the S&P 500 lagged. It notes one exception in 2024 when a Yen carry-trade unwind saw gold and the S&P 500 rise more than BTC. The piece also cites Grayscale research and net inflows into spot crypto ETPs, rising perpetual futures open interest, and improving regulatory clarity (CLARITY Act, SEC guidance) as supportive market developments, implying growing institutional participation and a more resilient market profile for BTC.
