Store of Value (SOV) | River Financial

A store of value is an asset whose investment thesis is its ability to preserve value across time, with little to no depreciation.

A store of value can be stored, saved, and exchanged in the long-term without concern that it will deteriorate in value. In order to be considered a store of value, the asset or currency must be able to maintain or increase its value over time. Since its inception, Bitcoin has proven itself as a superior store of value to both gold and U.S. Treasury bonds.

Btcoin’s ability to maintain its value overtime relative to the value of fiat currency has incentivized companies and individual investors to exchange fiat currency for bitcoin.

Gold is also considered a strong long-term store of value and has maintained its value over time. U.S. Treasury bonds can also be considered a store of value because they retain or increase in value as they reach maturity.
