Bitcoin is lauded by many of its supporters for being an asset that provides a lot of returns, without much fanfare. This has been a key selling point for many of the investors in the space, new and old, who have claimed Bitcoin’s return on investment surpasses even mainstream stocks.
A recent analysis pitted Bitcoin against world-famous IPOs and compared the returns to see which entity provided more monetary benefits to its users. The world’s largest cryptocurrency was compared to the Initial Public Offerings [IPO] of behemoths like Nike, Walmart, and Coca Cola, and it was discovered that BTC trumped them all.
An initial investment of $100 in Bitcoin back in 2009 would have yielded a return of $7.19 million to its holder. This revelation comes at a time when the topic of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has been discussed on the floor of the United States Congress. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $10,623, with a total market cap of $189.36 billion. Despite the market cap falling below the $200 billion mark, the 24-hour market volume was a respectable $24.98 billion.
At the same time, if an investor had invested $100 in Nike during its 1980 IPO, then the return would have been clocked at $6.07 million. This is significant, but still lower than the returns offered by Bitcoin. A single Nike stock on the New York Stock Exchange is currently worth $87.44, after a fall of 0.068 percent over the last 24 hours.
The third best asset for returns was retail giant, Walmart, a leader on the NYSE front, but an asset that still fell short of Bitcoin’s returns. An investment of a hundred dollars in Walmart during its 1969 IPO would have earned a return of $1.24 million. Walmart stocks at the moment are one of the few options on the NYSE that are in the green, trading at $114.72 per stock.
Bitcoin returns also beat those of Coca Cola’s, which would have yielded benefits just upwards of $1 million, if an investor had pitched in $100 in 1919. Bitcoin returns also took the cake when compared to the yields recorded by other assets like the S&P 500 and the oil industry.

In what could be seen as a new trend emerging in the apex court while dealing with economic offenders, the bench allowed bail to an accused in the bitcoin scam on Saturday, in lieu of hefty amounts of cash as a security deposit — Rs 15 lakh, to be precise. The court was hearing the bail petition of Akash Kantilal Sancheti, accused of duping several persons of Rs 42 lakh. The first complaint against him was lodged by a Pune entrepreneur, who claimed she had invested Rs 13 lakh in Sancheti's business since August 2017. He was arrested in January 2018. On Friday, his bail petition came up for hearing before a bench comprising Justices RF Nariman and V Ramasubramanian. His lawyer, senior advocate Siddharth Dave, submitted that Sancheti has been behind bars for 20 months and the kingpin of the scam is already out on bail. The bench directed Sancheti to deposit Rs 13 lakh with the registry of the apex court within six months. In addition, it told him to furnish a bail bond of R
