Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against inflation continues to gain recognition amid global economic uncertainty. Compared to traditional assets like gold and stocks, Bitcoin offers a decentralized alternative that is immune to the inflationary pressures faced by fiat currencies. While Bitcoin’s volatility is a consideration, its fixed supply of 21 million tokens positions it as a store of value, especially as central banks continue to print money. In comparison, gold has traditionally served as an inflation hedge, but Bitcoin offers more liquidity and portability. As a result, Bitcoin is increasingly seen as digital gold, offering investors a way to diversify their portfolios during times of inflation. Long-term adoption and institutional investment are likely to drive Bitcoin’s value higher.
