Jakarta, Pintu News – Strategy founder Michael Saylor recently revealed that investors are likely to switch from gold to Bitcoin (BTC) following rumors that the United States may impose import tariffs on the precious metal.

Capital Migration Prediction: From Gold to Bitcoin (BTC)

Michael Saylor emphasized that a possible tariff on gold could accelerate the movement of capital to Bitcoin (BTC), which is often referred to as ‘digital gold’. Unlike gold, Bitcoin (BTC) has no physical form and cannot be subject to tariffs due to its virtual existence.

Saylor added that Bitcoin (BTC) has the advantage of being non-physical and weightless. Bitcoin (BTC) transactions can be completed quickly and easily anywhere within minutes. Meanwhile, gold is considered too “heavy” and “slow” to be used as a transaction tool in this digital era.

Advantages of Bitcoin (BTC) as a Digital Asset

According to Saylor, rumors about gold rates remind everyone why Bitcoin (BTC) as a digital version, is superior to the precious metal itself. This, according to him, could trigger a new, broader wave of institutional adoption of Bitcoin (BTC).

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has also predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) will emerge as the ultimate store of value, replacing gold. Brandt thinks that while many see gold as a good store of value, Bitcoin (BTC) will prove to be the ultimate store of value.

Metaplanet and its Support for Bitcoin (BTC)

President of Metaplanet, Simon Gerovich, also supported Bitcoin (BTC) while addressing rumors of gold rates. Gerovich stated that gold is a heavy, slow, and political metal, while Bitcoin (BTC) is “light, fast, and free”.

Metaplanet, like Saylor’s Strategy, is a company that holds Bitcoin (BTC) as an asset. The Japanese company recently acquired $53.7 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), bringing their total holdings to 17,595 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $1.78 billion.

Conclusion

Despite rumors of gold tariffs, Bitcoin (BTC) prices today are moving steadily and are down less than 1% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the price of gold futures hit a new record high after reports that the US will tax imports of gold bars. This shows the interesting dynamic between the two assets and the great potential of Bitcoin (BTC) as a future asset.
