Cryptocurrency investment strategies are gaining attention as Bitcoin (BTC) approaches a significant breakout against the Nasdaq 100 Composite. Currently, the BTC/Nasdaq ratio stands at 4.96, signifying the value of nearly five Nasdaq units for one bitcoin. The last notable ratio of 5.08 occurred in January 2025 when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of over $109,000.

Cryptocurrency Investment Strategies in Focus

Over various market cycles, such as in 2017, 2021, and now 2025, Bitcoin has consistently outperformed the Nasdaq, with each cycle producing new highs in the BTC/Nasdaq ratio. This divergence from U.S. tech stocks has become more pronounced. Year-to-date figures show Bitcoin down only 6%, whereas the Nasdaq has seen a 15% decline. Following Donald Trump’s election in November 2024, Bitcoin enjoyed a 30% rally, contrasting sharply with the Nasdaq’s 12% fall.

Despite Bitcoin’s strength, its value remains roughly 20% below its all-time high when evaluated against major tech stocks, like those in the “Magnificent Seven” category. While the top tech names show resilience, the general Nasdaq Composite lags behind. This trend demonstrates how cryptocurrency investment strategies might capitalize on Bitcoin’s relative strength.

Strategy (MSTR), known for its Bitcoin exposure, mirrors this trend by outperforming U.S. tech stocks. Since joining the QQQ ETF on December 23, MSTR has declined 11%, less than the ETF’s 16% drop. In 2025, this divergence has become more evident, with MSTR up 6% year-to-date, contrasting with a 15% fall in QQQ.

As investors seek robust cryptocurrency investment strategies, the continued divergence between Bitcoin and tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq creates intriguing opportunities.
