Since its trading debut in 2011, Bitcoin has delivered an impressive average annual return of approximately 104%, surpassing the returns of Warren Buffett’s portfolio and U.S. stock markets.

Comparing Bitcoin’s (BTC) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) with the returns achieved by Warren Buffett’s portfolio — with its top holdings being Apple, Bank of America, American Express, Coca-Cola and Chevron Corp — shows starkly different risk-reward profiles and performance over varying timeframes.
