As of September this year, Bitcoin boasts annual gains of 51%. Following it is the Magnificent 7 stocks index (including Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla) with 27%, then the S&P 500 (14% rise), real estate (10% increase), and lastly, gold (7%). The bond market has declined by 4%.
Saylor emphasized Bitcoin’s success in a tweet stating, “Bitcoin is winning.”
