In the first half (H1) of 2023, Bitcoin's classic hodl strategy proved to be the winning formula, outperforming the majority of crypto funds by an impressive 68.8%. While crypto funds generated average returns of 15.2% during the same period, Bitcoin price soared with gains of around 84%.
Switzerland-based investment adviser, 21e6 Capital AG, revealed the stark difference in performance between the hodl strategy and crypto funds. Maximilian Bruckner, head of marketing at 21e6 Capital AG, observed that in previous bull markets, crypto funds had managed to outshine Bitcoin. However, challenging market conditions and the substantial cash reserves they accumulated at the end of 2022 impacted their performance in 2023.
In the aftermath of the 2022 FTX cryptocurrency exchange collapse and other crypto project failures, many funds opted to reduce risk and build cash buffers, inadvertently missing out on significant BTC price rallies in H1 2023. Funds with substantial cash positions typically underperform in bullish markets unless their assets significantly outpace Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the events of 2022 led to larger-than-normal cash positions for many funds, and most major altcoins also struggled to keep up with Bitcoin's impressive performance, making it a formidable environment for them.
The findings highlight the enduring strength of the hodl strategy, showcasing Bitcoin's resilience and dominance in the cryptocurrency trading market. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, investors and fund managers will need to adapt their strategies to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the ever-changing market dynamics.
