According to a report by Charlie Bilello, Chief Market Strategist at Creative Planning, Bitcoin and gold unexpectedly became the two worst-performing major asset classes in 2026. To date, gold has fallen by 7.5% and Bitcoin by 7.3%. This marks an unprecedented situation in financial markets, with both assets underperforming traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, and even cash, despite typically being regarded as stores of value and hedges during times of economic uncertainty.
