Bitcoin and Gold Rank as Worst-Performing Major Assets in 2026
Bitcoin and gold were the lowest‑performing major assets in 2026, each falling more than 7% year‑to‑date (7.3% for Bitcoin and 7.5% for gold). In contrast, US stocks, commodities and short‑term Treasury bills posted gains, with Treasury bills generating returns. Despite increased institutional interest, most Bitcoin holdings remain unattributed. Strategist Charlie Bilello noted no prior calendar year had both safe‑haven assets ranked last, citing higher oil prices and rate expectations as pressure factors.
