CBTC
Overview
Unveiled in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin was a ground-breaking innovation that changed the world forever. It was the first decentralized digital currency and has become widely recognized as a legitimate asset by governments, companies, and investors.
Why invest
Inflation hedge due to finite supply
Bitcoin is hard-coded with a finite supply of 21 million, of which 19.9 million have already been mined - the remaining supply is just about 1 million bitcoins (4.7%). This scarcity helps ensure that Bitcoin should be an effective long-term hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, in our view. While gold's supply is also scarce, it is not finite, with future supply varying depending on mining activity and new discoveries.
Accelerating and broadening adoption
Bitcoin is increasingly being adopted as a strategic reserve asset by both corporations and governments. With corporations now holding more than 8% of Bitcoin’s total supply and countries like the US beginning to explore it as a national reserve, institutional demand is growing nearly five times faster than new Bitcoin is being mined. The rise of crypto ETFs and ETPs is accelerating Bitcoin’s adoption by making it more accessible to both retail and institutional investors.
Decentralized and efficient network
Like gold, Bitcoin is not controlled by a single government or central authority. Its price cannot be manipulated for domestic or geopolitical gain, helping ensure that it maintains its value if fiat currencies devalue as governments or central banks grapple with their unsustainable levels of debt. Unlike gold, Bitcoin is easier to store and highly portable, making it far more efficient to send across borders.
