- Bloomberg’s initial doubts on Bitcoin now reversed by market trends.
- Bitcoin grows over 200 times in value since 2013.
- Institutional adoption peaks, with ETFs boosting market confidence.
Bitcoin, once labeled as “doomed” by Bloomberg in 2013, has risen over 200 times in value by 2025. Bloomberg’s narrative has shifted, with current analysts recognizing it as a maturing digital asset akin to gold.
In 2013, Bloomberg pronounced Bitcoin “doomed,” citing volatility and speculative behavior. Today, Bitcoin’s rise to 202x its earlier value showcases resilience against historical skepticism. Its growth exemplifies digital assets’ enduring allure and potential as a “digital gold.”
Bloomberg analysts like Mike McGlone now cite Bitcoin’s maturing profile in financial portfolios. While once seen as experimental, it now enjoys backing from major financial institutions offering Bitcoin ETFs, underlining a significant shift in market perception.
Bitcoin’s surprising ascent has impacted financial institutions, prompting increased ETF offerings, notably by BlackRock and Fidelity. These moves signal rising approval and institutional faith in the asset’s long-term value and stability.
The surge in Bitcoin’s valuation highlights burgeoning mainstream adoption, with institutional investments marking a new era of digital finance. Major players are actively engaging, reshaping economic landscapes centered around cryptocurrency investments.
Historical skepticism from legacy financial sectors, like Bloomberg, challenged cryptocurrency progress. However, continuing price increments underscore cryptocurrency’s emerging financial relevance.
Analysts predict that Bitcoin’s established acceptance portends lasting market influence. Enhanced regulatory frameworks and product offerings, like Bitcoin ETFs, are anticipated to propel broader crypto adoption. Institutional involvement may ease volatility concerns, aligning Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class.
Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist, Bloomberg, Twitter, (2024–2025) – “Bitcoin is maturing into digital gold. Its volatility is declining and adoption is growing. Macro risks support the asset’s long-term prospects.”
