Legendary investor Warren Buffett sees no value in Bitcoin (BTC), infamously calling it “rat poison squared.” But data shows that adding Bitcoin to a so-called “rat poison portfolio,” an equally weighted portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) stocks, would have produced much better returns for The Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) of Omaha.
Since 2014, allocating only 2.5% Bitcoin yearly to the rat poison portfolio increases returns by nearly 20% with reduced risks, according to independent market analyst Alpha Zeta. For now, the portfolio’s returns stand around 16%.
