Bitcoin vs Nvidia stock
MONTHLY EOD · 2016-01 → 2026-06
Nvidia is the rare equity that can be compared to Bitcoin without the chart looking absurd. Both rode secular waves — AI compute on one side, monetary technology on the other.
| METRIC | BITCOIN | NVIDIA (NVDA) |
|---|---|---|
| Total return | 14497.3% | 29135.7% |
| Multiple | 145.97x | 292.36x |
| CAGR | 61.4% | 72.5% |
| Max drawdown | -77.8% | -62.8% |
| Annualized volatility | 78.1% | 45.3% |
| Sharpe ratio(rf 4%) | 0.56 | 1.11 |
Nvidia's run since 2016 is one of the strongest in modern equity history, driven by data-center AI demand and a near-monopoly position in training silicon.
Bitcoin's run over the same window is comparable in magnitude but driven by different mechanics — protocol-level scarcity, halving cycles, and institutional adoption. The two are uncorrelated enough to make the comparison interesting rather than redundant.
