Move over, Bezos—Bitcoin just bulldozed past Amazon to claim the fifth-largest asset throne. With a $2.16 trillion market cap, the crypto king isn’t just knocking on traditional finance’s door; it’s kicking it down.

Wall Street’s old guard? Probably still explaining why they called it a ‘bubble’ at $50K. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s market cap now dwarfs half the Fortune 500—proving once again that digital scarcity trumps even the most polished shareholder reports.

Funny how a decentralized protocol out-executes corporate giants while hedge funds scramble to justify their 2% management fees. The revolution won’t be televised—it’ll be HODLed.

Gold is the largest asset, by far, standing at a $22 trillion market cap, followed by Microsoft (MSFT), NVIDIA (NVDA) and Apple (AAPL) which stand at $3.1 trillion to $3.4 trillion respectively.

As a result of the surge in bitcoin’s price since the win of U.S. President Donald Trump, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recently became the fifth-largest exchange-traded fund (ETF) by inflows this year as it took in roughly $9 billion from investors, according to data from Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
