It depends. Bitcoin and Gold have some differences that may attract or discourage people, such as
1. Bitcoin have more volatile price.
2. Bitcoin let you have full control, while having good portability. Meanwhile, physical gold force you to buy it on specific weight and ways to place it securely.

Bitcoin is often compared to gold as a store of value but which one will come out on top in the coming years? As inflation concerns grow, could bitcoin become the leading hedge against inflation or will gold remain the preferred option for investors seeking stability?
By inflation, you implied about fiat currencies but both gold and Bitcoin are inflationary too. In inflationary rate comparison, Bitcoin has lowest inflationary rate than gold and fiat currencies.In investment ROIs, Bitcoin has better ROI than gold. In purchasing power, Bitcoin purchasing power increases with time, fiat currency purchasing power decreases with time.
With all these things, Bitcoin has enough better profitable chances and many people like it than gold and fiat currencies as investment asset or store of value.

If you are not Peter Schiff, not the elderly, it has no reason to choose gold but ignore Bitcoin that has outperformed gold since 2009.
The answer will vary depending on many variables such as age, access to gold/bitcoin, investment purpose, payback period and other factors. For example, if I had $100,000 and wanted to use it after a year and I have no experience with Bitcoin, buying Bitcoin is not a good option since next January there is a possibility that the price will be less than $100,000. So salling time is a fundamental factor in considering Bitcoin as a store of value.
If you are thinking about both, then you can diversify. Buy both of them instead. Bitcoin is more of a speculative asset while gold is more of a store of value. If you are patient and buy bitcoin at a low price, it will give more return than gold. I prefer to go for bitcoin because of the ease of purchase and because I prefer to speculate and buy more at low price.
Its a personal preference choice, some will continue to prefer Gold others will choose
Bitcoin and some will go with both.
If choosing Gold you would more than likely be buying paper gold where you get
a certificate stating you own Gold, it price/value wont fluctuate much.
Bitcoin on the other hand can be bought directly with any amount of FIAT you like,
no minimum, you can easily self custody and the markets move quite a lot which
is a feature because you can buy or sell 24/7/365.
So each option has its merits but for me Bitcoin trumps Gold.

is it still a better source of store of value than gold or is the classic precious metal still the safest bet? Where bitcoin and gold stand in 2025?
I think its not good to compare these as they got different importance when it comes to asset store of value. For me they are par on each other since they are both succesful as store of value than any others. Id love to have gold assets and btc as well as they can preserve and print more potential value in the future. Well crypto or bitcoin is much trendy nowadays due to its nature but gold will always be the OG in kind of investment. Both would have their usage in the future. It's not like if there are reserves of Bitcoin, everybody would sell off their gold and get Bitcoin instead. It's more about their coexistence and acknowledgment of the value of Bitcoin.
I think that bitcoin is still the king when it comes to store of value and seeing how it got to this point already, it reached what other doubters thought to be an impossible number for bitcoin but here we are with bitcoin reaching 100k. Even if people think that bitcoin is too expensive, the point is that it's wrong to see it that way, where you see the increase as a gate that will keep you out of investing for your future, think of it this way, the increase of bitcoin price is a really good reminder that it can only go up and any price dumps that we encounter in the future is just a minor setback if not a big opportunity for us to buy more bitcoin with even more bang for our buck. I doubt that gold will be that good of a store of value as bitcoin but it's not a good idea to dismiss gold as a store of value altogether, it's inherent value to others is still there and the physicality of gold is always an advantage but other than that, it's probably a better idea to just go with bitcoin instead of gold if you have a limited budget.
I don't think it matters. There will be many people buying Bitcoin and gold anyway. It's not like they are in direct competition with each other, journalists and talk show hosts just make it that way. All eyes should be focused on the dollar, whose massive inflation is what both of these assets want to cut. They just do it in different ways.
They won't outcross each other.
Even when Bitcoin is adopted more, when there is instability, govs will still look at gold more than at BTC.
And back at it when there is a period of upcoming stability and calmness.

If you not looking to earn, gold is the best, gold has zero chance to become worthless. But, there's no guarantee you will earn if you hold gold, if you buy at the peak in 2011, you need to wait until 2021 if you want to earn profit, however the profit is small though.
On the other hand, Bitcoin looks promising for people who want to earn, if you check the graph, Bitcoin price always rise for every 4 years.

Bitcoin is often compared to gold as a store of value but which one will come out on top in the coming years? As inflation concerns grow, could bitcoin become the leading hedge against inflation or will gold remain the preferred option for investors seeking stability? W/ bitcoin's volatility and regulatory uncertainty, is it still a better source of store of value than gold or is the classic precious metal still the safest bet? Where bitcoin and gold stand in 2025?
I believe gold will still remain the best store of value as it has been tested through time. However, with talks about governments considering Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, Bitcoin could become the second option. Of course, governments will still prioritize gold, but with the growing trust and adoption of Bitcoin, it’s wise to consider holding some for the future. We never know what could happen, especially with inflation, some countries have experienced extreme inflation, and IMO Bitcoin will be a reliable hedge against that.
When leading countries implement Bitcoin-friendly policies, it reduces concerns about regulatory uncertainty, as most other countries tend to follow their lead. Isn’t the new U.S. government also planning good policies for Bitcoin? Let’s trust that positive changes will happen this year and beyond.
