Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead stated at the Ondo Summit that Bitcoin's performance over the next decade could significantly outperform gold, primarily because large institutions' allocation to Bitcoin is almost zero. Data shows that the median institutional Bitcoin holding is “close to 0.0%,” while gold has long held a stable position in most traditional asset portfolios. He views this structural gap as a potential long-term driving factor. Currently, many pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds remain cautious about Bitcoin. On one hand, this is due to risk assessment pressures from price volatility; on the other hand, it is related to regulatory pathways and a lack of historical data samples. However, Dan Morehead believes that this “gap between perception and allocation” actually presents an asymmetric opportunity. Once institutions allocate just 1% to 2% of their assets to Bitcoin, demand shifts could have a noticeable impact on prices.
