Bitcoin vs. Tech Giants: The Greatest Asset in Modern History?

Since emerging in 2009 as an obscure digital currency traded on forums for less than a penny, BTC has become one of the greatest-performing assets in financial history. In a recent analysis by Alphractal, the scale of Bitcoin’s long-term gains compared to even the biggest tech stocks highlights its unprecedented rise.

Bitcoin Beats Nearly Every Major Stock Since 2014

Zooming in on the last decade, Bitcoin has outpaced every major publicly traded company except one — NVIDIA. Since September 2014, NVIDIA has delivered a jaw-dropping +28,700% return, largely due to the explosive demand for GPUs in AI and gaming.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, posted a +23,500% return over the same period — second only to NVIDIA but still well ahead of tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Zooming Out: A 17.2 Billion Percent Gain Since 2009

While those numbers are impressive, they pale in comparison to Bitcoin’s performance since inception.

In late 2009, BTC traded for as little as $0.00061337, according to historical forum records. On December 17, 2017—exactly seven years later—Bitcoin peaked for that cycle at nearly $20,000, marking one of the most iconic moments in crypto history.

But the real shocker? According to the information from its lowest recorded price in 2009 to today, Bitcoin has appreciated by an astronomical +17,217,824,377.88% — or 17.2 billion percent.

This makes Bitcoin the best-performing asset in recorded financial history, far surpassing traditional stocks, bonds, real estate, or gold.

What started as a peer-to-peer experiment among cryptography enthusiasts is now a globally traded asset held by corporations, sovereign funds, and retail investors alike.

As discussions continue around Bitcoin ETFs, mainstream adoption, and global monetary policy, Bitcoin’s historical returns offer a compelling argument: it may already be the greatest asset ever created.
