Ark Invest’s CEO and CIO, Cathie Wood, joined Fox Business’s “Morning With

Tuesday, Ark Invest’s CEO, Cathie Wood, shared her perspective on the recent 
Bitcoin performance, which has retraced over 10% in the past month and 
struggled to reclaim crucial levels over the past few weeks. To Wood, Bitcoin 
has been behaving like a risk-on asset and is currently “climbing another wall 
of worry” that has made investors wary of the leading crypto asset’s upcoming 
performance. As she explained, there is a fear of the four-year cycle, which 
suggests that 2026 will be a corrective year for Bitcoin. Historically, BTC 
has seen significant price pullbacks during bear markets, with retraces of up 
to 75% to 90% in previous cycles. The aggressive Q4 2025 correction has 
shattered most investors’ expectations of an end-of-year bull run, raising 
concerns that the crypto market has already entered the bearish phase of the 
cycle after the more than 30% drop from the October highs. However, Ark 
Invest’s CEO considers that “the four-year cycle is going to be disrupted” as 
volatility has significantly diminished over the past few years, and large- 
scale investors turn to the rapidly growing industry. “We think that the move 
by institutions into this new asset class is going to prevent much more of a 
decline,” Wood affirmed, noting, “we might have seen it a couple of weeks 
ago,” when BTC managed to hold the $80,000 barrier during the late November 
correction. She previously asserted that growing institutional adoption will 
be a powerful driver for long-term value for the cryptocurrency, adding that 
institutions “really have just dipped their toes into this space. We have just 
started, so we have a long way to go.” Bitcoin To Outperform Gold Soon? 
During the interview, Wood also reaffirmed her previous forecast that the 
flagship crypto will outperform gold next year, despite its choppy performance 
during the last quarter of 2025. She highlighted that “gold is more of a risk- 
off asset,” and its 60% year-to-date (YTD) rise is “proof” that Bitcoin is 
climbing a wall of worry as investors “are using gold as a hedge against 
geopolitical risks.” Nonetheless, Ark Invest’s CEO pointed out that between 
the early 80s and the late 90s, gold peaked and “went down as we were in the 
golden age of innovation, ending with the internet.” Related Reading: Wall

she believes that the same could happen soon, as what she calls “the AI age” 
starts and the market potentially recovers. Meanwhile, she forecasted that 
Bitcoin would remain risk-on and outperform gold in 2026. “I really believe we 
are moving from a rolling recession where we’ve been for the last three years, 
into a rolling recovery, which we think we are entering now. Then, a 
productivity-driven boom the likes of which we have never seen before,” Wood 
concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $94,011, a 3.75% increase 
in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from
