VanEck CEO Jan van Eck recommends storing gold alongside Bitcoin.

Jan van Eck, CEO of investment firm VanEck, recommends investing in both gold and Bitcoin.

I think they [XAU and BTC] are very similar because they serve the same role in an investment portfolio. They serve as stores of value, and their supply is limited. We recommend holding both assets, as this will help grow capital across different market cycles.

Van Eck noted that Bitcoin used to be an excellent means of diversifying an investment portfolio because its price fluctuations were inversely correlated with the stock prices of American companies. However, recently, the price of BTC and the Nasdaq-100 index have been moving in a similar fashion, and if this continues, Bitcoin's appeal as a diversifier will diminish.

Ian didn't specify the best time to invest in Bitcoin, but given historical patterns, it's probably too early to invest in the cryptocurrency. It makes sense to wait until the bearish trend that began in October ends to acquire coins at the best price. Gold, on the other hand, is likely to fluctuate between $3,900 and $4,100 until the end of February 2026, after which it will rise again. Therefore, it's worth investing in the precious metal once its price drops to $3,900.
