years, projecting a compound annual growth rate of 28% with gradually declining volatility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"520\">The forecast was shared in a new memo previewing the firm\u2019s forthcoming Bitcoin Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-banner  container  pt-1  px-0  mb-6\" data-partner=\"bitcoinpenguin\">\n        <a

data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"564\">Institutional demand spurs framework<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"979\">The report, authored by Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, is targeted at large platforms and professional allocators that are increasingly treating bitcoin as a \u201ccore\u201d portfolio consideration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"979\">Hougan notes that the shift follows the launch and widespread approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have opened the asset class to mainstream retirement accounts and wealth platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1333\">Interest in long-term planning has grown markedly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1333\">Hougan said Bitwise received a dozen requests this year for long-term assumptions around bitcoin, compared with none between 2017 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1333\">In his view, this marks an inflection point: institutions are now evaluating bitcoin in the same way they assess equities, bonds, and other traditional assets.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1388\">Favourable comparisons with traditional markets<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1745\">While the full report is yet to be published, the preview states that bitcoin\u2019s projected returns, volatility profile, and correlations compare favourably with established asset classes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1745\">Bitwise characterises bitcoin\u2019s correlations with other major assets as \u201clow\u201d, falling between \u22120.5 and 0.5, which many allocators value for diversification benefits.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2254\">The asset manager\u2019s positioning of bitcoin\u2019s outlook draws parallels with annual capital-market forecasts issued by large Wall Street firms such as JPMorgan, PIMCO, BlackRock, and Vanguard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2254\">These outlooks help institutions determine long-term strategic allocations across asset classes including equities, fixed income, real estate, and alternatives.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2254\">Hougan argues that similar guidance is now warranted for digital assets, given their growing maturity and integration into mainstream investment products.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2256\" data-end=\"2300\">Growing Onchain and corporate holdings<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2302\" data-end=\"2585\">Since spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024, they have quickly gained traction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2302\" data-end=\"2585\">On-chain holdings tied to these ETFs have grown to represent almost 7% of bitcoin\u2019s fixed 21 million supply, with assets under management exceeding $146 billion, according to data from The Block.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2932\">Corporate treasuries have also expanded their exposure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2932\">Publicly traded companies, led by MicroStrategy with a holding of 629,376 BTC, have collectively accumulated more than $80 billion worth of bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2932\">These acquisitions have been financed largely through capital market activities, including equity offerings and convertible debt issuance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"3213\">Bitwise\u2019s full Bitcoin Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions report is expected later this week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2934\" data-end=\"3213\">It will provide detailed methodology and quantitative analysis, alongside side-by-side comparisons with forecasts for traditional asset classes from leading global asset managers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3215\" data-end=\"3520\">For Bitwise, the release marks a bid to position bitcoin within the same framework used for decades to evaluate traditional investments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3215\" data-end=\"3520\">For institutions, it reflects a growing acceptance of bitcoin not as a speculative play, but as a serious allocation option with defined risk and return expectations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4
