A store of value is an asset that maintains its purchasing power over time and can be reliably saved, retrieved, and exchanged in the future. Traditionally, assets such as gold, real estate, and government-backed currencies have served this role. In the digital asset space, Bitcoin is frequently described as a store of value due to its fixed supply, decentralised nature, and resistance to censorship. For an asset to function effectively as a store of value, it must exhibit durability, scarcity, divisibility, and broad acceptance. Volatility remains a key challenge for cryptocurrencies aspiring to this role, as sharp price fluctuations can undermine confidence. Nonetheless, in environments affected by inflation, capital controls, or monetary instability, digital assets are increasingly viewed as alternative stores of value. The concept is central to long-term investment strategies and macroeconomic narratives surrounding digital money.
