Bitcoin's 30% Slide Overshadowed by Google and Defence Stocks
Bitcoin has fallen by 30% since 2020, while other assets have seen significant gains.
A study by Taurex found that Google stock outperformed all others, with a gain of nearly 291%, more than tripling in value over the period. The study tracked the price performance of popular investment options between December 31, 2020, and August 12, 2026.
BAE Systems ranked second, with its price rising from $672.80 in 2020 to $2,277 in 2026, a gain of 238.4%. The study linked the strong performance of defence companies to rising military spending after 2022.
