Key Takeaways:73% of investors aged 24–45 prefer Bitcoin over gold as a long-term investment.The DeVere Group survey polled 730 clients across global markets.CEO Nigel Green forecasts Bitcoin at $150,000 and gold at $5,000/oz by 2025.Green recommends holding both assets to hedge against macroeconomic and geopolitical risks.A global survey conducted by DeVere Group has found that nearly three-quarters of younger investors (ages 24–45) view Bitcoin as a better long-term investment than gold. According to TechFlow, the results, published on June 23, reflect the shifting sentiment among a new generation of investors seeking alternatives to traditional stores of value.The poll surveyed 730 clients across various regions, highlighting a growing generational divergence in portfolio preferences. While older investors may still favor gold for stability, younger market participants are increasingly looking to digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) for long-term gains.DeVere Group CEO Nigel Green emphasized that Bitcoin and gold are complementary, not competitive, assets. “They solve different problems and can both serve as hedges in uncertain times,” Green said. He advised investors to consider holding both assets to manage risk amid macroeconomic instability and geopolitical volatility.Looking ahead, Green remains bullish on both assets. He projects Bitcoin to reach $150,000 and gold to climb to $5,000 per ounce by the end of 2025, driven by rising global debt, weakening fiat currencies, and investor demand for non-correlated assets.The findings underscore a long-term trend of digital asset adoption among younger investors and suggest that Bitcoin’s role as "digital gold" is gaining traction beyond the crypto-native crowd.
