Bitcoin has emerged as the top-performing asset class in Q1 2023, with gains of about 70%, making it the digital currency’s best quarter since Q1 2021. This outperformed big names like the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF. Bitcoin's gains have also surpassed those of gold and silver in the first three months of 2023.
