Bitcoin’s April gains reflect growing hedge appeal in policy stress, Galaxy Digital says

Bitcoin’s solid April performance has caught attention, with Galaxy Digital saying investors are starting to rethink its role in portfolios. As markets struggled to find direction in April amid fresh tariffs and growing policy concerns, Bitcoin ( BTC ) quietly climbed 11%, doing better than gold, tech stocks, and even the U.S. dollar, raising new questions about its role in today’s market, analysts at Galaxy Digital wrote in a recent research report . Galaxy Digital said this may be a sign that investors are beginning to treat Bitcoin “less as a speculative vehicle and more as a strategic, long-duration allocation.” “The shift is particularly evident when looking at fund flows. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.9 billion of net inflows in April, a sharp reversal from about $4.4 billion in outflows across February and March.” Galaxy Digital In early April, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs, triggering market volatility. While the Nasdaq stayed flat and the Bloomberg Dollar Index fell nearly 4%, gold jumped 5.75% before pulling back. But Bitcoin led the pack with double-digit gains and showed lower volatility than the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.

Galaxy Digital suggests these trends reflect “broader recalibration” by investors who are now hedging against “systemic concerns — ranging from political interference in the Federal Reserve to the long-term sustainability of U.S. fiscal policy.” As of press time, Bitcoin is trading at $102,795, up 9.17% over the past week, per crypto.news’ price tracking page.
