💰 Bank of America has listed Bitcoin as one of the greatest innovations in 1,000 years

The BofA chart ranks Bitcoin alongside the printing press, steam engine, light bulb, internet, iPhone and AI.

The report says: BTC is not just an asset, but a fundamental technology with the potential to transform the global financial system, just as electric cars and the World Wide Web have done.

Bank of America is taking its time with cryptocurrencies, but already:

🖤 holds positions in Bitcoin ETF,
🖤 is testing its own stablecoin,
🖤 owns hundreds of blockchain patents.

The bank is among the top 2 U.S. banks, AUM: $1.62 trillion.

🪙 A fact from the past: in 2011, a cryptan mined 1 BTC a day right from his bedroom

Back then it cost $800 to mine one bitcoin, today it's about $65,000.

In 2020, only 2 public companies owned BTC, but that number has now grown to 151, a 135% increase in 2025 alone.

Previously considered a side asset, BTC is now quickly becoming a major part of corporate balance sheets.

CoinShares analysts say Bitcoin has become less volatile than gold.

Why countries and companies are choosing BTC as a reserve asset:

➡️ It can't be printed beyond 21 million.
➡️ Average return since 2009 is about 165% per year, gold has only 7.6%.
➡️ It complements other assets well because it is loosely correlated to them.
➡️ Bitcoin cannot be frozen or seized and is protected from sanctions.
➡️ Considered resilient in times of crisis.
➡️ Powered by reliable decentralized technology, not dependent on centralized systems.
