Store of Value (SOV)
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.
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.
