Since the beginning of 2025, an interesting phenomenon has attracted attention: the growth rate of personal wealth has significantly diverged from the performance of cryptocurrencies.



According to the latest data, Elon Musk's net worth was approximately $421 billion at the start of the year, and it has now reached $754 billion, an increase of nearly 79%. In contrast, Bitcoin's performance has been the opposite — not only has it not risen since the beginning of the year, but it has also experienced a correction.

This comparison is quite thought-provoking. Some believe that top entrepreneurs like Musk are essentially high-liquidity assets themselves. His influence spans a wide range of industries — the continuous growth of Tesla and SpaceX is just the foundation, with multiple product lines such as smartphone manufacturing, solar energy, brain-computer interfaces, and humanoid robots advancing simultaneously. This diversified industrial layout and innovative capacity often help resist macroeconomic cycle fluctuations.

In comparison, Bitcoin, as a single asset and a representative of cryptocurrencies, is more affected by market sentiment, macro policies, institutional inflows and outflows, and other factors, lacking independent growth drivers. This may prompt holders to reconsider the logic of asset allocation.

Elon Musk's 79% increase is indeed impressive, but when it comes to Bitcoin's pullback... we need to see what happens next; we can't just focus on the short term.
