What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Goldman Sachs to Offer Bitcoin Services to Clients


 

CNBC is reporting that Goldman Sachs is "close" to offering bitcoin and other digital asset services to its wealth management clients. Mary Rich - recently named global head of digital assets for the bank's private wealth management group, suggested that Goldman plans to offer investment options for Bitcoin and digital assets sometime in Q2 2021.
Rich elaborated:

We are working closely with teams across the firm to explore ways to offer thoughtful and appropriate access to the ecosystem for private wealth clients, and that is something we expect to offer in the near-term. There’s a contingent of clients who are looking to this asset as a hedge against inflation, and the macro backdrop over the past year has certainly played into that... There are also a large contingent of clients who feel like we’re sitting at the dawn of a new Internet in some ways and are looking for ways to participate in this space. We’re still in the very nascent stages of this ecosystem; no one knows exactly how it will evolve or what shape it will be. But I think it’s fairly safe to expect it will be part of our future

tldr

  • This follows recent news that Morgan Stanley will be providing BTC fund access for its wealthy clients
  • Ms Rich specifically notes bitcoin's value as an inflation hedge, as well as a growth opportunity alongside the new digital economy
  • Last May, Goldman criticized Bitcoin, hitting on many common critiques, and saying "Cryptocurrencies Including Bitcoin Are Not an Asset Class"
  • This move perhaps suggests that client demand is quite strong, given Goldman's prior disposition toward the asset class.

Are we missing a recent story that makes the case for bitcoin?
