Should You Buy Crypto-Related Stocks? Jim Cramer Says, "Just Buy Bitcoin"
Amid heightened volatility in the digital asset market, a well-known Wall Street investment analyst has offered blunt advice to focus on Bitcoin (BTC) itself rather than related stocks.
According to financial media outlet Insider Money on February 10 (local time), CNBC host Jim Cramer responded to a viewer’s question about BitGo Holdings, Inc. (BTGO) during a recent “Lightning Round” session by saying, “If you want digital assets, just buy Bitcoin.” Cramer emphasized that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency within the digital asset group that he would recommend, placing greater value on holding the underlying asset itself rather than shares of related companies.
BitGo provides security infrastructure technology that enables professional investors and institutions to securely store and manage digital assets. The company operates a platform integrating wallet services, security protocols, and liquidity tools, serving as a key custodian in the digital asset financial ecosystem. However, Cramer reiterated, “If you want Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin,” making clear that direct investment is preferable to indirect exposure through complex stock structures.
Market analysts noted that Cramer’s remarks reflect a changing investment environment following the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. In the past, gaining exposure to digital assets typically meant purchasing shares of related technology or mining companies, but direct ownership or ETF-based investment has now become a more efficient approach. In particular, as Bitcoin undergoes a price stabilization phase around the $70,000 level, some point out that the volatility of related stocks could actually heighten investment risk.
Recently, there has been a growing perception that Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related stocks offer higher return potential than Bitcoin-related equities. Some research firms assess that while digital asset infrastructure companies such as BitGo have significant growth prospects, AI stocks benefiting from the Trump administration’s tariff policies and onshoring trends present lower downside risk and greater upside potential. Digital asset investors are also increasingly concentrating capital on technically proven protocols such as Bitcoin and the XRP Ledger, rather than simply investing in related companies.
Cramer’s latest comments are interpreted as a call for a fundamental shift in digital asset investment strategy. As Bitcoin becomes integrated into mainstream finance as a core asset, demand for the asset itself—rather than derivatives or related stocks—is forming the market’s mainstream. Investors should focus on Bitcoin’s intrinsic value and long-term upward potential, rather than being distracted by short-term market noise and complex investment structures, to secure greater portfolio stability.
