Charlie Bilello: Bitcoin and gold are the worst performing major assets so far in 2026
Bitcoin and gold lead 2026 declines

Bitcoin has fallen 7.3% and gold 7.5%, making them the two worst performing major assets so far in 2026. Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, LLC, said this combination of underperformance has not occurred in any previous calendar year.

Bilello has previously highlighted the challenges of managing risk when a stock becomes a dominant position in a portfolio, as discussed in an article on concentrated stock positions. He also noted that Tesla's third-quarter revenue was flat year over year at $28 billion, while net income dropped by 43%, according to Tesla's Q3 financial results. These observations add context to his recent comments on asset performance.
