Bitcoin Just Dethroned Google and Silver—Amazon’s Market Cap Is Next in Its Crosshairs
Bitcoin isn’t just breaking records—it’s rewriting the hierarchy of global assets. With a market cap now eclipsing both Google and silver, the crypto king has its sights set on Amazon. Here’s how the unkillable asset keeps defying gravity.
From Digital Oddity to Titan Slayer
No one’s laughing at ‘magic internet money’ now. Bitcoin’s relentless rally has it punching above legacy giants—while Wall Street scrambles to justify its own outdated metrics.
The Amazon Ambush
At this pace, Jeff Bezos’ empire could be the next domino to fall. TradFi analysts will dismiss it as a bubble, of course—right up until their 401(k)s start buying BTC ETFs.
Love it or hate it, Bitcoin’s market cap massacre proves one thing: in finance, the future arrives faster than a VC’s pivot to AI.
BTC Above Silver, Alphabet
Who could have predicted such a development 15 years ago when a peer-to-peer electronic system was launched by an unknown creator? Or a decade ago when it was being ridiculed by countless traditionalists. Or even three years ago, when it had become more mainstream after a surge to roughly $70,000 but then crumbled under pressure to under $20,000 within months amid industry-wide wipeouts, scams, failures, and everything in between.
Fast forward to July 2025, this same network, which was once a mere decentralized system for sharing value over the Internet, has become a global phenomenon. It has been adopted by countries, world leaders use it in their election campaigns, the largest wealth managers have launched ETFs tracking its underlying asset, and more.
And speaking about that underlying asset, its price just made history this week by skyrocketing to a fresh all-time high (for the third time this year) at almost $119,000. Naturally, this pushed its market capitalization to new peaks of its own as the metric stands close to $2.350 trillion now (that’s a trillion with a T).
Data from CompaniesMarketCap shows that this same asset, which was not that long ago worth pennies, has now become the sixth-largest global asset by market capitalization. Its most recent victims on the way up include Alphabet (market cap of $2.192 trillion) and silver ($2.2 trillion).
The graph above shows that Amazon stands next in line if bitcoin’s price ascent continues, while Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA are way further ahead. Gold remains the indisputed leader, with a market cap of well over $22.5 trillion.
Where’s ETH?
The second-largest cryptocurrency also experienced a substantial price revival this week, hitting $3,000 for the first time since February. Its market capitalization climbed to over $350 billion, which places it NEAR the top 30 assets by this metric.
In fact, ETH has surpassed the likes of Bank of America and SAP, while another precious metal (platinum) stands in its way next, with a market cap of almost $370 billion.
