JPMorgan Puts a Number on Bitcoin for the First Time: 10% a Year, With a Big Caveat

J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions project a 10% annual return for Bitcoin over 10 to 15 years, though the firm isn’t adding it to its main portfolio models.

• J.P. Morgan Asset Management's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions project a 10% annual return for Bitcoin over 10-15 years, topping other asset classes.
• Despite the high projected return, Bitcoin's significant volatility (55% annualized) prevents its inclusion in main portfolio models, with JPMorgan citing unstable correlations.
• The report also questions the currency debasement argument for crypto adoption, while JPMorgan continues to deepen its blockchain involvement with JPM Coin on Ethereum and tokenized stock efforts.
