Eternal Ping's quote "If you don't know what to buy, just buy the S&P 500" sounds especially heart-wrenching this year.

Looking at the data for 2025, the S&P 500 index has risen by 16% this year. Does that look okay? But what's even more magical is—among those so-called "all-in Bitcoin" treasury companies, only one managed to outperform this benchmark.

That's right, just one. All the other listed companies that stockpile Bitcoin as inventory have underperformed this "boring" traditional index this year. The only winner is a French company, but to be honest, among the bunch of institutions holding coins, this is the only exception, which somewhat indicates a problem.

It seems that regardless of whether it's a bull or bear market, the logic of "buying the index and lying flat" is really quite solid.

Once again, they've been proven wrong... Those all-in Bitcoin treasury companies are really so disappointing, they can't even beat the S&P 500. Is this a joke?

Wow, when this data came out, it was a bit embarrassing... Are those institutions that brag about all-in Bitcoin every day only one of them winning?

Ah, now it's embarrassing. All in Bitcoin isn't as stable as an index fund. ---- Duan Yongping's words are becoming more and more prophetic. Buying S&P 500 beats everything. ---- So we still need to listen to the veteran. Don't always think about going all-in at once. ---- It's ridiculous that a French company can win. It shows that most holding institutions don't really have much confidence. ---- Damn, I used to think that the crypto circle had some secret tricks, but it turns out they are completely beaten by indexes. ---- Lying flat and buying index funds is truly the simplest profit-making logic, just not very sexy.

Heartbreaking? Bro, this is called a brutal social blow... Is all-in on Bitcoin really worse than buying index funds? Why is this deal so outrageous? Only one wins? That just proves the point. No matter how loudly you boast, the data will slap you in the face. The S&P 500 rising 16%... well, it’s indeed a bit invincible. The feeling of lying flat and winning might really be gone. Now those guys who shout every day that "traditional finance is doomed" will have to think about what to say.

Haha, got slapped in the face again. How did the all-in Bitcoin folks lose to the S&P 500? There's only one winner in Bitcoin institutional holdings? This data is a bit disappointing, brother. The old dog S&P 500 really didn't live in vain; its stability is indeed top-notch. I just want to know how that French company did it; there must be some tricks. Index funds are really tough; they just sit back and win, while those who keep shouting about breaking the game are struggling.

Oh no, all in Bitcoin, and they all get crushed by the S&P 500... Buying index funds is the real "lazy investment," while a bunch of institutions tinker for a long time and end up doing nothing. Yong Ping Duan's words are truly timeless wisdom. Among the institutions holding coins, only one won, which shows that luck still matters. This year's 16% increase in the S&P 500 is much more stable than some so-called cutting-edge assets. Everyone keeps hyping all in this and all in that, but in the end, it’s just a counterattack from the index... This time, it’s a lesson for those gamblers. Nothing beats all in and just lying flat.
