This year has undeniably been horrible for bitcoin (BTC) investors. But if it’s any comfort, some in the stock market have suffered even more.

While BTC is down about 52% year-to-date, a number of companies in the important S&P 500 stock index are in fact down significantly more over the same time period.

In descending order, these are the stocks in the S&P 500 that in terms of year-to-date performance have performed worse than BTC, per data from TradingView’s stock screener at the time of writing:

  1. Netflix (NFLX): down 71.8%
  2. Etsy (ETSY): down 67.4%
  3. Align Technology (ALGN): down 62.9%
  4. PayPal (PAYPL): down 60.9%
  5. Caesars Entertainment (CZR): down 57.6%
  6. Epam Systems (EPAM): down 57.5%
  7. Ceridian HCM Holding (CDAY): down 55%
  8. Moderna (MRNA): down 53.9%
  9. Bath and Body Works (BBWI): down 52.9%.

As can be seen, there are still some investors who are even more unlucky than bitcoin holders.

However, keep in mind that the S&P 500 does consist of 500 companies. And given that we could only find 9 companies that performed worse than BTC, it’s safe to say that most in the stock market have fared better than bitcoin investors this year.
