Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, says Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is in a league of its own, comparing its stellar performance to traditional investment icons like the S&P 500, gold and Berkshire Hathaway.

What Happened: In his Pomp Letter from Jan.3, Pompliano highlighted Bitcoin's dominance in 2024 financial markets, calling its performance a landslide victory.

Comparison To S&P 500, Berkshire Hathaway And Gold

The S&P 500 posted an impressive 23.3% return in 2024, driven by a strong economy and tech sector growth. While notable, this was only the starting point for comparison.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway once again proved the Oracle of Omaha still has his touch, posting a 25% return.

While this outpaced the S&P 500, reinforcing Buffett's reputation as one of the greatest investors of all time, it fell short of gold which emerged as the silent winner with 27% gains this year.

Gold's strong performance suggests that concerns over monetary debasement and economic uncertainty remain top of mind for investors.

Bitcoin: 'Grand Daddy Of All'

Bitcoin outperformed all previous assets, delivering a 120% return in 2024.

Pompliano hailed Bitcoin as not just a financial asset, terming it as the "grand daddy of all" as a revolutionary tool for wealth storage and growth, accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Over the past decade, Bitcoin has boasted a compound annual growth rate of 80%, with a 67% annualized return over the last five years, setting a new gold standard for investment performance.

What's Next: The S&P 500 has long been considered the benchmark for global investment performance, but 2024's results may suggest a changing tide.

Pompliano concludes that Bitcoin's massive outperformance challenges the idea that traditional assets should be the standard by which portfolios are measured.
