The same cannot be said for most other cryptocurrencies.
Most cryptocurrencies have so far not escaped unharmedly from the 2025 market turmoil and economic turmoil. But at least up until now, Bitcoin (Cryptography: BTC) They’re pretty well together.
And that’s just one of the ways it proves it has lasting power. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.
Where would you invest $1,000 now? Our team of analysts has revealed what we believe is the 10 best stocks to buy now. Continues “
When the government buys or raises Bitcoin, they support the idea that it is an asset worthy for a while. That’s double true if the government does so after changing its adjustments on whether to allow assets to be legally retained and exchanged. And it is this precise situation that shows that Bitcoin is proving it has lasting power.
The biggest development is the planned US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) policy, requiring the government to retain coins acquired through asset confiscation or otherwise, rather than liquidating it with cash. The US SBR has not yet been implemented, and it may never be – or it may be reversed by future administrations – the point of the situation is that the US aims to hold coins that earn them indefinitely rather than selling them. Given that other countries are currently investigating the benefits of doing so, they can quickly follow similar policies.
If players with many financial weights make the move to hold coins, they are likely to continue with smaller players as the risk of maintaining assets that do not have enough buyers. And it simply accelerates this trend and solidifies Bitcoin’s position as an asset the government wants to hold for the long term.
Just like the way countries that have Bitcoin encourage others to do the same, when a large company like Tesla buys and holds it, the assets become more legal in the eyes of other large companies, and increase the chances of purchasing it. This year was not the first time Tesla or others have bought Bitcoin, but so far it has been a continuation and expansion of the trend.
Another important new type of holders are banks and other financial institutions. Before the regulatory photos became too unclear for these players to buy at Gusto, the issue has quickly retreated thanks to a new set of leaders from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that are considered highly pro-crypto. Soon, big banks are allowed, and can also hold a huge total of Bitcoin on their balance sheets and earn some of its upside down over time.
The story continues
If they think Bitcoin is a flash of bread, they are not interested in doing it, and they are more likely to hold the coin than small investors. In short, assets now have more sustainability than before. Because some of the most comprehensive competitors in the market choose to hold it for their own purposes.
The prospects of a trade war between the United States and the rest of the world have great uncertainty in financial markets and are for good reason. As trade flows decrease, the economy fights and companies competing within those economies also lower stock prices and reduce other impacts.
On paper, Bitcoin is not directly vulnerable to harmful trade effects. In fact, it is widely assumed that as a risky asset, its prices will drop sharply as soon as the economic or financial market conditions begin to deteriorate. That hasn’t happened yet.

As you can see, the story here doesn’t mean Bitcoin is flying while everything else is crashing. For some very clear reasons, when everything else is struggling, it’s not exactly crashing.
If it continues to demonstrate this behavior and may not, it will ratify the idea that it may be an asset that is not closely correlated with traditional financial markets, despite the fact that many companies within those markets directly hold it. Such confirmations would support the idea that it could be some kind of safe haven, like gold.
For now, take this as a third indication that Bitcoin won’t go anywhere anytime soon. If it barely survives the ongoing turbulence, it is almost intact and it may be, it would be yet another big vote in favor of its extraordinary staying power.
Consider this before purchasing inventory with Bitcoin.
