Bitcoin, the pioneer and ancestor of cryptocurrencies, has reached a market capitalization of $2 trillion with its extraordinary performance in recent years. With the rising wave that started recently, Bitcoin, which started May 2025 by rising to May 2025, started to rise from $ 80,000 to $ 104,900. With this development, the total market capitalization reached over $2 trillion. It is currently the 8th most valuable asset in the world.
Bitcoin vs Gold Comparison
Bitcoin (BTC) has been considered a revolutionary development in the financial world since its emergence in 2009. With a limited supply (21 million units) and a decentralized structure, Bitcoin is considered the pioneer of blockchain technology. Today, Bitcoin, which has a market capitalization of 2 trillion dollars, has become known as “Digital Gold”.
So, can Bitcoin’s market capitalization, which exceeds 2 trillion dollars and increases day by day, surpass physical gold, which ranks first in the most valuable asset ranking today? Here are the details;
- The total market capitalization of gold is estimated to be around 18 trillion dollars. Therefore, if the current data is taken into consideration, it has a market capitalization exactly 9 times that of Bitcoin. Considering this assessment, Bitcoin needs to go up to $ 900 thousand – $ 1 million in order to surpass gold. Although this figure is currently seen as a very extreme and large figure, it is claimed that this new technology is the technology of the future and that Bitcoin will be possible by those who call it “digital gold”.
Bitcoin Leaves World Giant Companies Behind!
There has been a huge development for Bitcoin, especially in the last 1 year. After its price dropped to 20 thousand dollars in the bear season after 2021, Bitcoin rose to 100 thousand dollars with a serious rise and market evaluation. With this rise and increasing market valuation in the last 1 year, it has surpassed many of the world’s leading giant companies. For Bitcoin, there are only a few giant companies (Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft) that it is currently competing with in market capitalization. With a new hype in the cryptocurrency market in the coming days, the market price may increase and leave these companies behind. If it leaves these world giants behind, it will compete with Gold as its only competitor.
Bitcoin Competes with National Economies
Bitcoin has a market capitalization of 2 trillion dollars, more than the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of some countries. Bitcoin has become comparable to economies such as Switzerland, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
