Investors increasingly appear to be willing to prioritize growth opportunities over defensive positioning.

Bitcoin (BTC) and gold are the only two major asset classes in the red so far in 2026, posting year-to-date losses of 27% and 3%, respectively, according to market analyst Charlie Bilello.

What makes it unusual is not just the losses themselves but the combination, with both assets never having finished as the two worst performers among the majors in a calendar year, going back to 2011.

Rotation Showing Up Across Markets
The backdrop makes the situation harder to explain, as Bilello pointed out in a recent market report. Data he shared showed the S&P 500 was up around 9% on the year, and small-cap stocks had gained 19% in the same period. Furthermore, he noted that value stocks have jumped 15%, and emerging market equities were outperforming expectations.

Basically, everything is in positive territory except for gold and BTC, the two assets most commonly associated with protection against uncertain times as well as monetary debasement.

The analyst’s chart, which has tracked annual returns for the last 15 years, showed just how out of character this performance is for both assets. Gold posted gains of 63.7% in 2025 and 26.7% in 2024, while Bitcoin returned 121% in 2024 and had one of its best showings in 2013 when total returns hit 5,500%.
