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.

Paul Tudor Jones Targets 5% Allocation to BTC


 

In a CNBC interview this morning, Paul Tudor Jones emphasized that he likes BTC due its certainty, stating:

I like bitcoin. Right? Bitcoin is math. And math has been around for thousands of years. And two plus two is gonna equal four and it will for the next 2000 years. So I like idea of investing in something that's reliable, consistent, honest, and 100% certain. So bitcoin has appeal to me because it's a way for me to invest in certainty.

story image


He went on to contrast bitcoin's certainty with the Federal Reserve, and US politics:

I look at the difference between the Fed at 2013, the Fed at 2021. How can this...do I want to have to faith necessarily....I look at the difference between Trump and Biden...do I want to have faith in that same reliability of human nature?

Finally, Mr Jones suggested a 5% bitcoin position as one of the few holdings he has sufficient conviction in given uncertainty surrounding Fed policy:

I like bitcoin as a portfolio diversifier... The only thing that I know for certain is that I want to have 5% in gold, 5% in bitcoin, 5% in cash, 5% in commodities, at this point in time. I don't know what I want to do with the other 80%. I want to wait and see what the Fed's gonna do, because what they do will have a big impact.

tldr

  • Paul Tudor was one of the first big-name investors following the March 2020 covid crash to publicly embrace bitcoin, and position it as an important macro asset.
  • Bitcoin is known to be price-volatile, yet Mr Jones correctly highlights Bitcoin's monetary policy certainty
  • Mr Jones is clearly still thinking of bitcoin as a key macro asset given both central bank and political uncertainty, and his emphasis may carry weight with other investors
  • If anything, his conviction appears to have risen since first diligencing bitcoin last year, now citing BTC as one of just 4 positions he has sufficient conviction to hold in the current macro environment.

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