- Bitcoin is approaching its all-time high ratio against the Nasdaq 100, currently at 4.96 compared to the January 2025 record of 5.08.
- Since Donald Trump‘s election in November 2024, Bitcoin has rallied 30% while the Nasdaq has fallen 12%, showing significant divergence.
- Bitcoin-related investments like MicroStrategy (MSTR) are outperforming the broader tech market, with MSTR up 6% year-to-date compared to QQQ’s 15% decline.
Bitcoin is on the verge of breaking its record high compared to the Nasdaq 100 Composite, with the current BTC/Nasdaq ratio standing at 4.96. This means it now takes almost five Nasdaq units to equal one bitcoin in value. The previous high of 5.08 was established in January 2025 when bitcoin reached its all-time peak above $109,000.
Each market cycle has seen this ratio reach new highs—first in 2017, then in 2021, and now potentially again in 2025—highlighting bitcoin’s consistent outperformance against traditional tech stocks over multiple bull markets.
Bitcoin Diverges from Tech Stocks
The cryptocurrency is showing increasing separation from U.S. technology stocks across multiple timeframes. While bitcoin has only declined 6% year-to-date, the Nasdaq has fallen a much steeper 15%. This divergence became particularly pronounced following the November 2024 U.S. presidential election, with bitcoin surging 30% while the Nasdaq dropped 12%.
However, when measured against the “Magnificent Seven” mega-cap tech stocks, bitcoin remains approximately 20% below its all-time high from February this year. This indicates that while bitcoin has demonstrated strength, the top technology names are holding up better than the broader Nasdaq Composite index.
Bitcoin Proxies Outperforming
MicroStrategy (MSTR), widely recognized as a proxy for bitcoin exposure in traditional markets, is also showing resilience compared to tech stocks. Since joining the QQQ ETF on December 23, MSTR has declined 11%, outperforming the ETF’s larger 16% drop.
The performance gap has widened further in 2025, with MSTR gaining 6% year-to-date, contrasting sharply with QQQ’s 15% decline during the same period. This suggests that bitcoin-related investments are maintaining stronger performance than the broader technology sector.
The current BTC/Nasdaq ratio of 4.96 represents a key indicator for crypto investors watching the relationship between digital assets and traditional tech investments, potentially signaling bitcoin’s continued strength as an alternative investment class even during broader market downturns.
