Bitcoin has a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins, but this scarcity does not guarantee positive returns or inflation protection. Unlike Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), Bitcoin pays no interest and does not adjust for inflation, meaning holders rely solely on price appreciation to preserve purchasing power. Holding Bitcoin also involves opportunity costs, such as forgone income from other investments, and potential expenses from borrowing or derivatives. Investors should consider these factors alongside Bitcoin's price changes when comparing it to yield-bearing assets like U.S. Treasuries.
