According to CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoin briefly held a higher position than the oil giant during Wall Street’s trading hours.

The digital asset also surpassed another significant benchmark by exceeding the market value of the world’s mined silver supply, estimated at 1,751,000 metric tonnes.

The Race to the Top: Next Targets

While Bitcoin’s market cap retreated to $1.7 trillion on Thursday, allowing Saudi Aramco to reclaim its position at $1.8 trillion, the cryptocurrency remains positioned for potential further advances.

The next major target is Alphabet (Google), with its $2.1 trillion market capitalization.

Bitcoin would need a 23% price increase from current levels to surpass Google and claim the sixth position on the global assets leaderboard.

amazon stands slightly higher at $2.2 trillion, requiring a 29% rally from Bitcoin’s current price of $87,600.

The Long Road to Gold

NVIDIA‘s $3.6 trillion market cap presents a substantial hurdle, standing at more than double Bitcoin’s current valuation.

Gold maintains its position as the ultimate benchmark, with an estimated market value of $17.2 trillion, based on 208,874 metric tonnes of above-ground supply.

This valuation would require Bitcoin to increase by approximately 900% to achieve parity with the precious metal.

Beyond Traditional Assets

The comparison extends beyond CompaniesMarketCap’s listed assets, with significant stores of value including global real estate markets.

The Australian residential real estate market alone exceeds $10 billion in value.

While Bitcoin’s trajectory remains unpredictable, its continued price appreciation positions it to potentially compete with traditional global asset classes.

The asset’s performance challenges conventional valuation models and demonstrates the growing influence of digital assets in the global financial landscape.
