The upshot: A blend of stocks, bonds and bitcoin has outperformed stocks and bonds. Letโs say, for whatever reason, you couldnโt own spot bitcoin and only had access to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

(Disclosure: Grayscale is a wholly owned subsidiary of DCG, which is also CoinDesk’s parent company.)
