On June 3, Berkshire Hathaway stock, BRK.A, experienced a significant but brief decline due to a technical glitch on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The problem caused Berkshire’s shares to plummet by nearly 100%, prompting the New York Stock Exchange to suspend trading in several major stocks in order to correct the problem.
Towards the end of trading, the New York Stock Exchange announced that it would immediately reverse erroneous trades resulting from the previous technical glitch. However, this whole episode has focused the market’s attention on the overall underperformance of Berkshire Hathaway shares relative to Bitcoin (BTC) over the past decade – without any problems.

Berkshire Hathaway’s stock value has fallen nearly 100% against Bitcoin since 2015, from around 1,000 BTC to 9.15 BTC.
Interestingly, BTC’s performance relative to BRK.A and its top stocks stands in stark contrast to Berkshire Hathaway owner Warren Buffett’s critical view of Bitcoin, which he has a day described as a “can of rat poison”.

Buffett’s flexibility with Bitcoin hasn’t stopped the cryptocurrency from becoming one of the most valuable assets in the world.
As of June 4, Bitcoin’s net market capitalization was approximately $1.36 trillion, making it the ninth-largest asset in the world in terms of valuation. Interestingly, BTC outperforms Meta Platforms and Berkshire Hathaway, which have a market cap of $1.20 billion and $899.36 million.
Bitcoin’s valuation is likely to increase in the coming months and years as it gains momentum as a safe-haven alternative to gold, which currently has a market capitalization of 15,800 billions of dollars.
