Bitcoin [BTC] has surged to a new all-time high of $126,296 as of October 6, 2025, significantly outpacing the rise in U.S. home prices. While U.S. home prices have increased by over 50% since 2020, their value in Bitcoin terms has plummeted by approximately 90%. In 2020, purchasing a typical U.S. home required around 40 BTC, but today it requires fewer than 5 BTC. This trend underscores a growing wealth gap and suggests Bitcoin may now be a more attainable financial goal for younger generations compared to traditional homeownership.
