PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Cathie Wood, in ARK Invest's 'Big Ideas 2026', reiterated her core belief about Bitcoin: it is not only a risk asset but also possesses long-term hedging and value storage attributes. She emphasized that Bitcoin's correlation with gold throughout historical cycles is minimal, indicating it does not merely replicate gold's price logic. On the supply side, Bitcoin's advantage is more pronounced, as its issuance is mathematically capped at 21 million, unlike gold, which can be increasingly produced in response to price stimuli. This 'unacceleratable' scarcity gives Bitcoin the potential to become a significant value storage tool in future generational wealth transfers. According to Cathie Wood, the narrative of Bitcoin as digital gold is just beginning.

According to ChainCatcher, the agreement was initially reached in August of last year.
