JPMorgan Projects Bitcoin at 10% Annualized Returns in LTCMA Report — But a Return Range Is Not an Allocation

What happened: J.P. Morgan's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions project a 10% compound annualized return for Bitcoin over 10 to 15 years, the first time Bitcoin appears in the 31st edition of the report. Why it matters: The gap between the 10% compound and 20.9% arithmetic return reflects volatility drag, and the content says Bitcoin is viewed as a volatility-adjusted match for gold rather than a core portfolio building block. The firm's caveat that Bitcoin is not an allocation keeps it outside formal portfolio models. Market: -0.1% today ($81,965.30), -7.7% YTD — as of 23:45 UTC
