- This marks the latest in a recurring rivalry, with the assets swapping positions several times since January 2021.

On Sunday, Bitcoin reclaimed its status as a larger financial asset than Tesla, with its $1.62 trillion market capitalization slightly edging out the electric vehicle giant’s $1.608 trillion valuation. Consequently, Bitcoin now stands as the 12th-biggest global asset, ranked alongside giants like Gold, Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.
Tesla shares closed at $428.35 on Friday, contributing to a stellar 24% gain over the last 30 days. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has gained 12% in the same period, trading at $81,319 and showing renewed momentum after consolidation. This crossover, however, is not a new phenomenon in their ongoing trillion-dollar contest.
Market data shows Bitcoin first surpassed Tesla in January 2021 during its post-pandemic bull run. The two assets have since swapped places multiple times, with Tesla briefly leading in February and April of 2026 before this latest reversal. According to the latest treasury tracking data, Tesla itself holds 11,509 BTC. At current prices, this stake is worth roughly $936.9 million, representing about 0.055% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
