Hougan believes this perspective overlooks an important dynamic: the store-of-value market itself is continuously growing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1245\">Gold and other assets commonly used as stores of value have expanded significantly over the past two decades. In 2004, the global gold market was valued at roughly $2.5 trillion. Since then, it has grown at an average annual rate of around 13%, reaching approximately $38 trillion today.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1470\">Several structural factors have contributed to this expansion, including rising government debt levels, geopolitical uncertainty, accommodative monetary policies, and increasing concerns about long-term financial stability.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1j7n7jr\" data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1513\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_121_Trillion_Market_Within_a_Decade\"><\/span>A $121 Trillion Market Within a Decade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1671\">If this growth trend continues, Hougan estimates that the total global store-of-value market could reach around $121 trillion within the next ten years.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1908\">Under such a scenario, Bitcoin would not need to dominate the market to reach $1 million per coin. Capturing just 17% of the global store-of-value market\u2014roughly one-sixth of the total\u2014could be sufficient to support that valuation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"2071\">This framework shifts the discussion away from direct competition with gold and instead highlights the overall expansion of wealth preservation assets worldwide.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"lzbpf7\" data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2124\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Institutional_Adoption_Could_Be_a_Major_Catalyst\"><\/span>Institutional Adoption Could Be a Major Catalyst<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2344\">Institutional capital is expected to play a critical role in Bitcoin\u2019s potential market share growth. Over the past several years, large financial institutions have gradually increased their exposure to digital assets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2561\">Investment vehicles such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), sovereign wealth funds, and professional asset managers allocating portions of diversified portfolios to Bitcoin could significantly accelerate adoption.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2665\">As these flows increase, Bitcoin\u2019s role within the global financial system may continue to strengthen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2667\" data-end=\"2862\">Hougan suggests that when these structural trends are considered, the idea of Bitcoin capturing a meaningful portion of the store-of-value market over the next decade does not appear unrealistic.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1mby0or\" data-start=\"2864\" data-end=\"2907\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_and_Gold_Are_Currently_Diverging\"><\/span>Bitcoin and Gold Are Currently Diverging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2909\" data-end=\"3021\">Despite frequent comparisons between Bitcoin and gold, the two assets have not moved in tandem in recent months.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3244\">Gold reached an all-time high of $5,600 per ounce in late January and currently remains only about 2.2% below that level. In contrast, Bitcoin is still trading roughly 44% below its peak recorded last October.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3246\" data-end=\"3402\">This divergence has fueled debate about whether Bitcoin truly behaves like a traditional safe-haven asset, despite its widely used \u201cdigital gold\u201d narrative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3246\" data-end=\"3402\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65262 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/bitcoin-altin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"689\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/bitcoin-altin.jpg 689w, https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/bitcoin-altin-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"16fs83d\" data-start=\"3404\" data-end=\"3451\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Store-of-Value_Narrative_Remains_Debated\"><\/span>The Store-of-Value Narrative Remains Debated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3453\" data-end=\"3573\">Not all investors are convinced that Bitcoin can fully assume the role of a long-term store of value comparable to gold.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3575\" data-end=\"3838\">Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has previously expressed skepticism, arguing that gold remains a stronger safe-haven asset. One of his key points is that central banks continue to accumulate gold, while they have not shown the same level of demand for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3840\" data-end=\"3975\">Dalio also suggests that Bitcoin\u2019s market behavior often resembles that of technology stocks rather than a traditional defensive asset.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3977\" data-end=\"4180\">Similarly, some market research indicates that Bitcoin is not currently being priced as a hedge against macroeconomic risks such as inflation, sovereign debt concerns, or real interest rate fluctuations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"tk64kl\" data-start=\"4182\" data-end=\"4228\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Long-Term_Scenario_Still_Under_Discussion\"><\/span>A Long-Term Scenario Still Under Discussion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4230\" data-end=\"4486\">The question of how large a share Bitcoin can ultimately capture within the global store-of-value market remains open. However, the continued expansion of that market combined with increasing institutional participation keeps the long-term bull case alive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4488\" data-end=\"4726\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For this reason, some analysts believe that Bitcoin\u2019s current valuation may still represent only an early phase in its long-term price discovery process, particularly if it continues to gain traction as a global wealth preservation asset.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4488\" data-end=\"4726\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
