Bitcoin ($BTC) Has Skyrocketed to Become the Fifth Most Valuable Financial Asset

Bitcoin ($BTC) has skyrocketed to become the fifth most valuable financial asset, with a market capitalization of $2.042 trillion.

Bitcoin (BTC) has now become the fifth most valuable financial asset, surpassing Amazon in the latest ranking.

The data, compiled by CryptoRank.io and visualized by TradingView, shows that Bitcoin has recovered significantly in the past month.

30 days ago, BTC was nearly at the bottom of the top 10 globally. Now, it trades at fifth, and it could yet reach fourth by the end of the week.

The revised ranking has Bitcoin leading Amazon and Alphabet, which signals surging interest and investment capital in the digital assets market.

Recently, there has been a large inflow of capital into Bitcoin, which has pushed it to new highs in 2025.

At the beginning of April, the digital currency was narrowly ranked above Meta, with a market cap of $1.5 trillion.

A month later, and it has occupied seventh place in the latest ranking.

At the beginning of May, BTC’s market cap slipped to $1.7 trillion, ranking it eighth.

However, in the second week of May, BTC is in fifth place and on the verge of beating Amazon by $5 billion.

The rise concurs with other trends in the cryptocurrency industry, including higher institutional adoption and higher retail activity.

Notable events, such as ETF inflows and timely regulatory updates in the major markets, have raised interest and sparked another capital investment lure to invest into Bitcoin.

At $2.042 trillion, Bitcoin’s market cap has now aligned with Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft, which hold the fourth, third, and second positions, respectively.

Nonetheless, quite a difference still exists between Bitcoin and the leading three assets. Nvidia is at $2.863 trillion, and Apple and Microsoft are worth $2.949 trillion and $3.256 trillion, respectively.

Gold is still the most valuable asset in the world, with a market cap of $22.3 trillion.

The new rankings point to a change in investment’s global focus, with digital assets still gaining recognition from traditional financial assets.

Accompanying $BTC’s dominance, other major tech giants, including Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, hold the same lead, highlighting the continued dominance of technology-driven assets in the world markets.

Amazon, in sixth place with a valuation of $2.037 trillion, has only been slightly surpassed by Bitcoin.

Underneath, Alphabet and Silver have market caps of $1.880 trillion and $1.836 trillion, respectively.

Saudi Aramco, the only other large-scale oil company in the top 10, is in ninth place at $1.601 trillion.
