According to data shared by macro analyst Alex Krüger, Bitcoin has outperformed every major large-cap asset and global stock index over the past 12 months, reaffirming its position as the world’s best-performing major asset.
The analysis, compiled via TradingView, shows Bitcoin leading the pack with a +62% gain, narrowly edging out Tesla (+61%) and well ahead of Google (+57%), Gold (+49%), and Silver (+44%). The performance gap between Bitcoin and traditional equities highlights its renewed dominance amid a volatile macroeconomic backdrop.
Bitcoin Outperforms Equities, Commodities, and Tech
Over the past year, Bitcoin has rallied on a combination of ETF inflows, institutional accumulation, and post-halving optimism, reclaiming its leadership role among risk assets. In contrast, traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver, while strong, have lagged behind.
Krüger’s data ranks the top 15 performing large-cap assets as follows:
- Bitcoin (+62%)
- Tesla (+61%)
- Google (+57%)
- Gold (+49%)
- Silver (+44%)
- Nvidia (+31%)
- Nikkei 225 (+30%)
- Meta (+29%)
- Euro Stoxx 50 (+27%)
- Nasdaq 100 (+25%)
- Microsoft (+23%)
- Amazon (+20%)
- S&P 500 (+17%)
- Russell 2000 (+14%)
- Apple (+14%)
Macro Resilience and Risk Rotation
Bitcoin’s performance underscores how digital assets are increasingly behaving as macro-sensitive instruments, responding to liquidity shifts and investor expectations around Federal Reserve policy. The asset’s outperformance relative to both equities and commodities comes despite global economic uncertainty, tighter credit conditions, and a stronger U.S. dollar.
Meanwhile, tech-heavy assets such as Nvidia, Meta, and Google also posted solid gains, benefiting from the ongoing AI and cloud computing boom, while gold’s resilience reflects continued investor hedging amid inflation and geopolitical risk.
Bitcoin’s Momentum Could Extend into 2026
Krüger’s chart highlights Bitcoin’s sustained uptrend relative to global markets, a sign that the digital asset is no longer an outlier but a core part of global portfolio discussions. With ETF products stabilizing inflows and volatility compressing, many analysts expect Bitcoin to maintain its leadership through 2026 as liquidity conditions begin to ease.
As Krüger summarized in his analysis, Bitcoin’s 12-month surge places it “at the top of the global leaderboard,” proving that even in a market dominated by tech and macro trades, digital scarcity continues to outperform innovation and industry alike.
