A relative valuation model suggests bitcoin is undervalued compared to gold, challenging its classification as a pure risk asset.

The analysis compares bitcoin’s historical price relationship with gold, adjusting for volatility and adoption trends. Gold’s market capitalization remains significantly larger, but bitcoin’s digital scarcity and growing institutional adoption are factored into the model.
