What to know:

  • The wealthy now see BTC as a gold-like store of value, says Tiger21 founder Michael Sonnenfeld.
  • Collectively Tiger21 members have $6 billion in crypto.

Bitcoin (BTC) has become a store of value and an instability hedge for the world's wealthiest investors, Michael Sonnenfeld, the founder of Tiger21, said during an interview on CNBC.

The members of Tiger21, a network of high-net-worth investors and executives, collectively have a net worth of $200 billion. The members have allocated around 1%-3% of their wealth into crypto, Sonnenfeld said, which amounts to around $6 billion.

"The areas of digital currencies remain really exciting. We have some members who are all in: it's become a gold substitute," Sonnenfeld said on CNBC. "Gold is for traditionalists, bitcoin a bit new age, but they often play the same role. They are perceived as storehouses of value."

BTC is up over 125% during the last year,  according to CoinDesk Indices data , and is currently trading above $97,000.

Sonnenfeld also said that members' cash holdings have hit a 17-year low, which suggests high market confidence.
