Abstract

ARK Invest identifies four key trends enhancing Bitcoin's value proposition in 2026: favorable macro and policy conditions driving demand for scarce digital assets; structural ownership shifts via ETFs, corporations, and sovereign nations; Bitcoin's evolving role as a high-beta digital extension of gold and store of value; and reduced volatility and drawdowns compared to prior cycles. Bitcoin is transitioning from an emerging speculative asset to a strategic institutional allocation, supported by regulatory clarity, ETF adoption absorbing over 12% of supply, and increased corporate and sovereign holdings. Despite short-term price dislocations, long-term holders have been rewarded, with Bitcoin's correlation to gold suggesting potential as a macro hedge. The focus is no longer on Bitcoin's viability but on its optimal allocation in diversified portfolios.

Compiled by: Felix, PANews

In the 2026 macro context, ARK Invest points out that four major trends are enhancing Bitcoin's value and believes that Bitcoin is evolving from an "optional" fringe asset to an indispensable strategic asset in institutional investment portfolios. Details are as follows.

In 2025, Bitcoin continued to deeply integrate into the global financial system. The launch and growth of Bitcoin spot ETFs in 2024 and 2025, the inclusion of digital asset-listed companies in major stock indices, and increasing regulatory clarity are driving Bitcoin from the fringe to a new asset class that ARK Invest considers worthy of institutional allocation.

ARK Invest believes the core theme of this cycle is Bitcoin's transformation: from an "optional" emerging monetary technology to a strategic allocation asset in the eyes of more and more investors. Four trends are enhancing Bitcoin's value proposition:

  • The macro and policy backdrop shaping demand for scarce digital assets
  • Structural ownership trends encompassing ETFs, corporations, and sovereign nations
  • Bitcoin's relationship with gold and broader store-of-value instruments
  • Bitcoin's drawdowns and volatility are decreasing compared to previous cycles

This article will elaborate on these trends.

2026 Macroeconomic Backdrop

Monetary Conditions and Liquidity

After a prolonged period of monetary tightening, the macro landscape is changing: US quantitative tightening (QT) ended last December, and the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle is still in its early stages. Additionally, over $10 trillion in low-yield money market funds and fixed-income ETFs may soon rotate into risk assets.

Policy and Regulatory Normalization

Regulatory clarity is both a constraint and a potential catalyst for institutional adoption. In the US and other countries, policymakers have been advancing frameworks to clarify digital asset regulation, standardize custody, trading, and disclosure processes, and provide more guidance for institutional allocators.

For example, acts like the US CLARITY Act, if implemented—which would place digital commodities under CFTC regulation and digital securities under SEC regulation—could significantly reduce compliance uncertainty for companies and institutions focused on digital assets. The act provides a compliance roadmap for the digital asset lifecycle through a standardized "maturity test," allowing tokens to transition from SEC to CFTC oversight after decentralization. The act implements a dual-registration system for broker-dealers, reducing the legal "vacuum" historically associated with digital asset companies operating offshore.

The US government has also addressed Bitcoin-related issues through:

  • Discussions between lawmakers and industry leaders about incorporating Bitcoin into national reserves.
  • Standardized management of seized Bitcoin holdings (most of which are currently controlled by the federal government).
  • State-level adoption of Bitcoin, with Texas leading the way by purchasing and incorporating it into state reserves.

Structural Demand: ETFs and DATs

ETFs as Structural New Buyers

The scaled expansion of spot Bitcoin ETFs has reshaped the market's supply and demand dynamics. As shown in the chart below, by 2025, US Bitcoin spot ETFs and DATs absorbed 1.2 times the amount of newly mined Bitcoin and dormant Bitcoin re-entering the market (active supply growth). By the end of 2025, ETFs and DATs held over 12% of the total circulating supply. Despite demand growth outstripping supply growth, Bitcoin's price fell, seemingly due to external factors: a large-scale liquidation event triggered by a software glitch on October 10th, concerns about the four-year cycle inflection point, and negative sentiment surrounding the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin's cryptography.

In the fourth quarter, Morgan Stanley and Vanguard added Bitcoin to their investment platforms. Morgan Stanley expanded client access to compliant Bitcoin products, including spot ETFs. Surprisingly, Vanguard, after years of rejecting cryptocurrencies and all commodities, also added third-party Bitcoin ETFs to its platform. As ETFs mature, they will increasingly serve as structural bridges connecting the Bitcoin market with traditional pools of capital.

Bitcoin-Related Companies in Indices, Corporate Adoption, and Bitcoin Reserves

Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is no longer limited to a few early adopters. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices have included stocks of companies like Coinbase and Block, introducing Bitcoin-related exposure to mainstream portfolios. The company formerly known as MicroStrategy, operating as a DAT entity, has built a substantial Bitcoin position, accounting for 3.5% of the total supply. Additionally, Bitcoin DAT companies currently hold over 1.1 million BTC, representing 5.7% of the supply (worth approximately $89.9 billion as of the end of January 2026). Largely, these corporate reserves belong to long-term holders, not short-term speculators.

Sovereign Nations and Strategic Reserves

In 2025, following El Salvador, the Trump administration utilized seized Bitcoin to establish the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). This reserve now holds approximately 325,437 BTC, representing 1.6% of the total supply, valued at $25.6 billion.

Bitcoin and Gold as Stores of Value

Gold Leads, Bitcoin Follows?

In recent years, gold and Bitcoin have reacted differently to macro narratives like currency devaluation, negative real rates, and geopolitical risk. In 2025, driven by inflation concerns and fiat devaluation, gold prices soared 64.7%. Somewhat surprisingly, Bitcoin's price fell 6.2%. This divergence is not unprecedented.

In both 2016 and 2019, rising prices in gold preceded rises in Bitcoin. During the early COVID-19 shock in 2020, a surge in fiscal and monetary liquidity saw gold's rise also presage Bitcoin's. As shown in the chart below, this "gold-Bitcoin" pattern was particularly evident in 2017 and 2018. Will history repeat? According to historical relationships, Bitcoin is a high-beta, digitally native extension of the same macro trading logic that has historically supported gold.

ETF AUM: Bitcoin's Growing Share

Cumulative ETF net inflows provide another point of comparison between Bitcoin and gold. According to Glassnode and the World Gold Council, spot Bitcoin ETFs achieved in less than two years what gold ETFs took over 15 years to accomplish, as shown below. In other words, financial advisors, institutions, and retail investors seem to more readily accept Bitcoin's role as a store of value, diversification tool, and new asset class.

Source: ARK Investment Management LLC and 21Shares, 2025, data from Glassnode and the World Gold Council, as of December 31, 2025.

Notably, as shown in the chart below, the correlation between Bitcoin and gold returns was very low in the previous cycle since 2020. That is, gold may be a leading indicator.

Note: The correlation matrix above uses weekly return data from January 1, 2020, to January 6, 2026.

Market Structure and Investor Behavior

Drawdowns, Volatility, and Market Maturation

Bitcoin is a volatile asset, but its drawdowns have decreased over time. In previous cycles, peak-to-trough declines often exceeded 70–80%. In the current cycle since 2022 (as of February 8, 2026), drawdowns from all-time highs have not exceeded approximately 50% (as shown below). This suggests that even facing significant corrections (like the adjustment in the first week of February 2026), the market is behaving more robustly due to increased participation and deeper liquidity.

Source: ARK Investment Management LLC and 21Shares, 2025 Forecast, data from Glassnode, as of January 31, 2026.

These observations suggest Bitcoin is transitioning from a speculative asset to a globally tradable macro financial instrument, with an increasingly diverse holder base supported by robust trading, liquidity, and custody infrastructure.

Long-Term Holding vs. Market Timing

According to Glassnode data,假设一位“运气最差”的比特币投资者,假设一位“运气最差”的比特币投资者 (Assuming a "worst-luck" Bitcoin investor) who invested $1000 at the yearly peak price from 2020 to 2025, their total investment of ~$6000 would have grown to ~$9660 by December 31, 2025, and to ~$8680 by January 31, 2026, representing returns of ~61% and ~45% respectively (as shown below). Even considering the early February correction, by February 8th, this investment would have reached $7760, a return of approximately 29%.

Source: ARK Investment Management LLC and 21Shares, 2026, data from Glassnode, as of January 31, 2026

This shows that since 2020, holding period and position size have been more important than timing the purchase: the market tends to reward investors who focus on Bitcoin's value proposition rather than its volatility.

Bitcoin's Strategic Question Today

In 2026, the narrative around Bitcoin is no longer about whether it will "survive," but about its role in a diversified portfolio. Bitcoin is:

  • A scarce, non-sovereign asset in the context of evolving global monetary policy, government deficits, and trade deficits.
  • A high-beta extension of traditional store-of-value assets like gold.
  • A globally liquid macro instrument accessible through regulated vehicles.

As regulatory and infrastructure advancements lower barriers to entry, long-term holders, including ETFs, corporations, and sovereign entities, have absorbed a large portion of new Bitcoin supply. Historical data also suggests that due to Bitcoin's low correlation with other assets, including gold, allocating to Bitcoin has the potential to improve portfolio risk-adjusted returns, especially as its volatility and drawdowns have decreased over a full market cycle.

ARK Invest believes that as investors evaluate this new asset class in 2026, the question they face is no longer "whether" to allocate to Bitcoin, but "how much" and "through which channels."

Institutional Adoption of Prediction Markets Stuck at the Third Stage

Prediction markets are transitioning from niche platforms focused on elections and sports to mainstream financial tools, as highlighted at Kalshi Research's inaugural conference. While sports still dominate trading volume (around 80%), non-sports categories like macroeconomics, politics, and entertainment are growing faster, signaling a shift from entertainment-based trading to information and risk management tools. Institutions, including Wall Street firms, are increasingly using prediction markets for data reference (Stage 1 adoption), with some progressing to system integration (Stage 2). However, full-scale trading (Stage 3) is limited due to the lack of margin trading, requiring full collateral for positions—a barrier for leverage-dependent entities. Kalshi is working with regulators to introduce margin mechanisms. Key insights from participants like Goldman Sachs and CNBC emphasize the value of real-time pricing for events (e.g., Fed decisions, tariffs), providing benchmarks previously unavailable. The path to maturity mirrors historical financial instruments like options, with expectations that prediction markets will become institutional staples within five years. Political leaders, including Trump and Schumer, now cite Kalshi odds, underscoring its growing influence. The platform rewards domain expertise over traditional finance backgrounds, attracting diverse participants from fields like music and poker. Ultimately, prediction markets are evolving into critical infrastructure for pricing uncertainty.

Institutional Adoption of Prediction Markets Stuck at the Third Stage

Prediction markets are transitioning from niche platforms focused on elections and sports to mainstream tools for information and risk management. While events like the Super Bowl still dominate trading volume, non-sports categories—such as macroeconomics, politics, and entertainment—are growing faster and attracting institutional interest. Key drivers include the need for real-time benchmarks on uncertain events (e.g., election outcomes or policy changes), which traditional markets lack. Institutions like Goldman Sachs and CNBC are already using prediction market data for decision-making, though most remain in the early stages of adoption. The path to full institutional integration involves three phases: data integration, system compliance, and active trading. The current barrier to large-scale trading is the lack of margin trading, requiring full collateral for positions—a limitation platforms like Kalshi are working to address. Experts compare prediction markets to the early days of options trading, anticipating they will become a standard, if mundane, financial infrastructure. Political leaders and institutions are increasingly referencing these markets, signaling their growing credibility. The future lies in their evolution from speculative arenas to essential tools for hedging and pricing uncertainty.

France Averages One Crypto Kidnapping Every 2.5 Days, Authorities Finally Take Action

France has emerged as a global hotspot for "crypto kidnappings" and wrench attacks, with an average of one incident every 2.5 days in 2026, totaling 41 cases so far. In a recent event, the wife and 11-year-old child of a crypto entrepreneur were abducted in Burgundy, with a ransom demand of €400,000. The victims were rescued, and suspects were arrested. Facing growing pressure, French Interior Ministry Undersecretary Jean-Didier Berger announced at Paris Blockchain Week that authorities are developing a more "serious" protection plan for cryptocurrency investors, to be unveiled in the coming. This follows the launch of a prevention platform that has already registered thousands of users. According to data from CertiK, wrench attacks—where victims are threatened or assaulted to force digital asset transfers—increased by 75% globally in 2025, with France accounting for 19 confirmed cases. Europe represents about 40% of such incidents worldwide. Other high-profile cases include a couple robbed of $1 million in Bitcoin by impersonators and the kidnapping of a judge and her mother in a crypto-related extortion attempt.

The First Year of Computing Power Inflation: The Cheaper DeepSeek Gets, the Harder It Is to Stop This Round of Price Hikes

The year 2026 marks the beginning of "computing power inflation." While AI inference costs have dropped by over 80% in 18 months globally, China's three major cloud providers—Alibaba Cloud, Baidu AI Cloud, and Tencent Cloud—simultaneously announced price hikes of 20–30%. This reflects a deeper structural shift driven by Jevons Paradox: as unit costs fall (e.g., via models like DeepSeek-R1), demand explodes, especially with the rise of reasoning models and AI agents that consume 10–50x more tokens per task. Although DeepSeek open-sourced its model weights, it did not release its inference optimization stack, leaving a significant engineering efficiency gap between cloud providers and smaller players. The big three are leveraging this advantage to reposition: Alibaba focuses on high-margin premium clients, Baidu filters out low-value users, and Tencent capitalizes on ecosystem lock-in. Meanwhile, ByteDance’s Volcano Engine adopts a more moderate pricing strategy to capture displaced customers. Unexpectedly, the price surge is pushing large enterprises toward self-built computing solutions once their cloud bills exceed a certain threshold. While cloud providers aim to boost profitability, they risk driving away innovative startups and accelerating competition from GPU leasing and domestic hardware providers like Huawei. The涨价 trend is expected to persist for 2–3 years, fueled by rising token consumption from reasoning models, AI agent adoption, and NVIDIA export restrictions. The inflection point depends on whether domestic chips can match NVIDIA’s efficiency, likely around 2027–2028. Until then, cloud providers will maintain pricing power, and the key for AI companies is to optimize token usage—the real moat in this era.

Robotics' "ChatGPT Moment": AI Moves into the Physical World, Blockchain Accelerates the Arrival of the Machine Economy

The integration of AI and robotics is accelerating the shift from digital intelligence to physical AI, enabling machines to perceive, reason, and act in real-world environments. Companies like Figure, Tesla, and Skild AI are driving advancements in humanoid and specialized robots, supported by significant investments—such as Skild’s $14B and Figure’s $10B+ funding rounds. Key enablers include declining hardware costs (actuators, sensors, batteries), edge computing (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson), and AI "world models" that learn physical intuition from video data rather than programmed instructions. Despite progress, challenges remain: collecting real-world robotic training data is slow and costly, and simulation-to-reality gaps persist. Blockchain and tokenization offer solutions by incentivizing decentralized data contribution and enabling robots to function as economic agents—earning, spending, and distributing profits autonomously. By 2030, physical AI could transform industries and households, with robots operating via standardized platforms and skill-based "app stores." The convergence of affordable hardware, advanced AI, decentralized coordination, and edge compute promises a future where intelligent robots become ubiquitous assistants in daily life and high-risk applications.
