Grayscale Research says 57% of S&P 500 companies are more volatile than Bitcoin

Bitcoin's one-year realized volatility has fallen to 43%, putting it in the same range as many blue-chip stocks Bitcoin has spent most of its life as the asset your financial advisor warned you about. A new report from Grayscale Research suggests that reputation may need an update. According to the firm, 57% of companies in the S&P 500 are more volatile than Bitcoin. So the wild child of finance now swings less than more than half of America’s most established public companies. The report, titled “Putting Bitcoin’s Volatility in Context,” was released on October 14, 2026. Its central figure is Bitcoin’s one-year realized volatility, which Grayscale puts at 43%. Realized volatility is a backward-looking gauge.
