\n

Bitcoin is flexing its muscle. The S&P\u202f500 Index closed at 6,280 on July\u202f10, 2025, marking a 6% year\u2011to\u2011date gain in dollar terms. The benchmark even set fresh records this week. Yet priced in Bitcoin<\/a>, that same index sits about 15% lower so far this year. That gap shows just how strong crypto\u2019s rally has been.<\/p>\n

Fluctuations In Bitcoin Terms<\/h2>\n

According to market analyst The Kobeissi Letter<\/a>, measuring the S&P\u202f500<\/a> against BTC highlights a dramatic shift. Since 2012, the index has fallen almost a whopping 100% versus Bitcoin, based on data from Bitbo.<\/p>\n

Investors who stuck with Bitcoin instead of stocks over the past decade would be sitting on massive gains. That contrast has become impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n

\n

Truly incredible:<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 in Bitcoin terms is now DOWN -15% year-to-date.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, the S&P 500 in Bitcoin terms is down -99.98%.<\/p>\n

Top Crypto Hits New Highs<\/h2>\n

Based on figures from CoinMarketCap, BTC pushed past $118,800<\/a>, Friday. The digital asset climbed 6% in the previous 24\u202fhours and gained 10% over the past week. Overall, BTC is up 26% in 2025. Those numbers have drawn fresh attention from traders who once treated crypto as a fringe bet.<\/p>\n

In 2025, money has flooded into crypto via exchange\u2011traded funds in the US. As of this week, the 12 US spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a> hold a combined 1.26 million BTC\u2014about $148 billion at current prices.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That stash represents over 6% of all Bitcoin in circulation, according to Bitbo data. Inflows into digital asset ETFs landed them as the third\u2011largest fund category in the first half of the year, trailing only short\u2011term government debt and gold, State Street data shows.<\/p>\n

Heavy Inflows Push Records<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Bitcoin ETFs recorded their second\u2011largest single\u2011day inflow ever, pulling in over $1\u202fbillion. Traders view these ETFs as a simpler way to tap into BTC gains without dealing directly with wallets or exchanges.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Coingecko data shows BTC trading at $118,038<\/a>\u2014still holding most of its recent upside.<\/p>\n

Tech Stocks Fall Behind<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s surge hasn\u2019t just outperformed broad stock indexes. Analyst Charlie Bilello has pointed out that BTC has climbed far more than big tech names like Nvidia, Tesla, and Netflix over the past decade. That wider outperformance has added fuel to the argument that digital currency belongs in major portfolios.<\/p>\n

With US equities near record highs in greenbacks but lagging in Bitcoin terms, some investors are weighing how to balance their bets. The rush into spot ETFs speaks to a growing belief that crypto deserve a spot alongside stocks and bonds.<\/p>\n
