Bitcoin Dethrones Wall Street: Pompliano Crowns It the Undisputed King of Finance
Move over, Wall Street—Bitcoin just stole your crown. Anthony Pompliano's bold declaration isn't just hype; it's a seismic shift in the financial hierarchy.
The New Regime
Forget bull markets and IPOs. Bitcoin's decentralized architecture is rewriting the rules while traditional finance scrambles to keep up. No bailouts, no gatekeepers—just code and consensus.
Wall Street's Existential Crisis
Trading floors are sweating as 24/7 crypto markets outperform legacy systems. Those 'too big to fail' banks? They're looking increasingly like dinosaurs watching the asteroid approach.
The Punchline
While hedge funds debate their next PowerPoint presentation, Bitcoin's already mooning. Maybe they'll short it—again—and lose another billion. Some things never change.
- Bitcoin has outperformed traditional assets like the S&P 500 since 2020.
- Wall Street is now heavily focused on Bitcoin, more than other crypto assets.
- BTC is becoming a key part of corporate and institutional strategies.
Anthony Pompliano, the head of Professional Capital Management (ProCap), believes Bitcoin has claimed the top spot in the financial world. Speaking on CNBC, he said Bitcoin is no longer a fringe investment.
Instead, it’s now at the center of Wall Street’s attention. While ethereum and Solana have made gains, they haven’t seen the same surge or market dominance as Bitcoin.
Pompliano pointed out that the financial world is building more products around BTC. From ETFs to real estate funds, it’s showing up everywhere. Capital is flowing in, and the pace isn’t slowing down. For institutions, BTC has become a new way to drive returns and attract more clients. Wall Street firms are no longer just observing; they’re getting fully involved.

Pompliano didn’t hold back when talking about the U.S. dollar. He said the dollar has lost about 30% of its value over the last five years. Meanwhile, if you measure the S&P 500 in bitcoin terms, it’s down over 85% since 2020. These figures, he said, show just how much ground traditional assets have lost against Bitcoin.
He believes company leaders need to rethink how they protect shareholder value. Holding large sums in dollars could be a mistake in today’s economy. BTC, in his view, offers a stronger store of value. More companies, he said, are likely to MOVE some of their corporate reserves into BTC. It might seem risky now, but Pompliano sees it as a smart move over the long run.
What’s Next for Bitcoin and Wall Street
Pompliano said we’re seeing a big shift in how financial institutions deal with BTC. Firms that once dismissed it are now rushing to include it in their offerings. ProCap is actively searching for profitable financial companies to acquire. The goal is to use digital tools and online platforms to grow these businesses faster.
Looking ahead, he sees a few major moments that could push BTC even higher. One of them is the U.S. government possibly buying BTC to hold in reserve. Another is the final wave of big Wall Street firms giving in and adopting BTC. As more players come on board, Pompliano believes it will only get stronger as a Core part of the global financial system.
