Jack Dorsey Says Bitcoin’s 16-Year “Math” Proves It Always Goes Up

Jack Dorsey, the billionaire co-founder of Twitter and the CEO of Block, said Bitcoin has a history of 16 years of just increasing. Dorsey compared Bitcoin to gold and referred to it as an alternative savings account in a video published by Pete Rizzo (pete_rizzo_). He noted that Bitcoin has become a hedge against the U.S dollar by companies. Bitcoin has gone up since its inception in January 2009 to about 100,000 dollars in October, 2025. The 16-year performance in the network reflects an average growth of over 200 percent per year in terms of annual performance.

It is Math – The Wave of Bitcoin Rise.

Dorsey opined that BTC is not rising on speculation but through mathematics. There is a limited number of coins, 21 million to be exact, and this somewhat makes the cryptocurrency scarce. Analysts attribute this trend to the mathematical nature of Bitcoin that makes its demand high as its supply becomes limited.

Dorsey claimed that firms consider BTC as a savings account that increases in value. In 2025, the traditional savings accounts in the U.S. will have around 0.5% interest, whereas inflation will be 3, which will eliminate the cash value over time. In comparison, Bitcoin has brought in long-term returns even when there is short-term volatility. It has performed better than gold, equities and real estate within the past 10 years. Fidelity Digital Assets illustrates that risk-adjusted returns of Bitcoin between 2020 and 2025 are higher than most conventional assets. This, according to Dorsey, makes BTC a smart corporate treasury hedge.

According to Dorsey, Bitcoin is equal to gold, and it appears as a new form of the same. The market capitalization of Gold is close to 13 trillion and that of Bitcoin is more than 2.5 trillion. The stock-to-flow ratio is a measure of scarcity, and currently, the ratio of Bitcoin competes with that of gold following the 2024 halving.

Bitcoin as a Hedge against the dollar.

Dorsey pointed out that Bitcoin insures against losing the purchasing power of the dollar. Depending on the data presented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S dollar has become weakened by approximately 20 percent since 2009. Firms such as MicroStrategy, Tesla and Block are keeping billions of Bitcoin in reserve. The holdings of MicroStrategy alone are worth almost 190,000 BTC or about 19 billion. BlackRock IBIT ETF, which is an institutional fund, also possesses more than 300,000 BTC. According to Dorsey, this increasing corporate use indicates that corporate leaders have realized the use of Bitcoin as a financial protection.

The Market Context

Bitcoin is trading at close to 100,000 with a daily trading volume of approximately 50 billion according to CoinGecko. It boasts a subscriber base of more than 500 million people all over the globe and a network of a thousand plus businesses accepting it. The adoption by institutions has been growing rapidly since the SEC sanctioned Bitcoin ETFs in July 2025. The resulting liquidity has minimized volatility by more than 100 percent in 2017 to approximately 40 in 2025.

Volatility and Criticism

Critics believe that Bitcoin cannot be used as a savings asset because of its volatility. A 30-40 percent fluctuation of prices within a month is still prevalent. Nevertheless, the long-term thinking of Dorsey is based on the macro trends and not on the short-term noise. There is also regulatory uncertainty in a number of markets such as the 30 percent tax on crypto gains in India. Nonetheless, the institutional flows and data of global adoption imply further growth of Bitcoin. Historical evidence indicates that new all-time highs were made in Bitcoin following every halving and adoption period.
