Bitcoin Surpasses Google and Amazon to Become World’s 5th Most Valuable Asset
Bitcoin continues to defy skeptics and redefine global financial rankings. According to data from CompanyMarketCap, the leading cryptocurrency has overtaken tech giants including Google and Amazon to become the world’s fifth-largest asset by market capitalization.
As of Wednesday, Bitcoin’s market value reached $1.86 trillion (approximately ₹1,58,87,400 crore), placing it ahead of both silver and Alphabet, Google’s parent company. In comparison, Google’s market cap stood at $1.859 trillion and Amazon followed closely at $1.837 trillion. Silver’s valuation was recorded at $1.855 trillion.
This milestone propels Bitcoin just behind gold, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia in the global asset rankings.
Bitcoin’s climb comes after a volatile period in recent weeks. The digital asset had dipped to around $76,000 (roughly ₹65.3 lakh) due to macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tension. However, it bounced back sharply and was trading above $93,000 (around ₹79.8 lakh) mid-week. Bitcoin’s all-time high was recorded at over $108,000 (about ₹92 lakh) in December 2024.
The surge marks a major turning point in how digital assets are viewed in the mainstream financial world. What was once dismissed as a volatile experiment now sits beside legacy assets and commodities. Bitcoin’s rise signals growing recognition and acceptance.
Crypto advocates suggest that as global regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, Bitcoin could solidify its position as a long-term investment class within institutional portfolios.
