Bitcoin Surges Past Amazon to Claim 5th Largest Asset Spot—A New Era for Digital Gold

Move over, Bezos—Bitcoin just bulldozed past Amazon in the global asset rankings. The crypto king isn’t just knocking on Wall Street’s door; it’s kicking it down.

From internet money to institutional heavyweight

No one’s laughing at ‘magic internet money’ now. With its latest surge, BTC has officially outflanked one of tech’s most vaunted giants. Guess which asset class hedge funds are suddenly calling ‘strategic’ this quarter?

The numbers don’t lie (this time)

Fifth place isn’t just a vanity metric—it’s a middle finger to every suit who said crypto would remain a niche play. Meanwhile, traditional finance still can’t decide if blockchain is ‘the future’ or ‘a Ponzi scheme.’ Spoiler: their clients are buying anyway.

One cynical footnote: Watch how fast legacy institutions rebrand their ‘crypto skepticism’ as ‘long-term conviction’ now. The herd always arrives late—but they’ll still take credit for the stampede.

Bitcoin Flips Amazon in a Historic Feat

Bitcoin, the first of its kind, a notable digital asset that took the market by storm in 2008, has now become the fifth-largest asset in the world. BTC’s suave move to $122K has led the token to beat Amazon in terms of market cap, with BTC sitting at a 2.39 trillion market cap, officially crowning BTC as the fifth largest asset after beating Amazon.

$1.3 BILLION IN SHORTS were liquidated in less than 60 seconds.

Bitcoin skipped straight past $120k and went directly to $121k.

At $2.39 trillion, Bitcoin is now officially larger than Amazon, and is the world's 5th largest asset.

In 2009, the bitcoin network officially started its mining process, with Nakamoto commencing the creation of the genesis block. In May 2010, the price of Bitcoin was somewhere around $0.01. The token’s journey from a meager $0.01 to $122K seems astonishing, as BTC has now officially flipped Amazon to become the fifth leading asset of the world. The token is now behind giants like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft, with investors anticipating a further price push that may help it overcome more barriers and obstacles.

What’s Next for BTC?

BTC is currently stable at $122K, but several price predictions continue to forecast its rise to $150K and beyond. Per Anthony Scaramucci, BTC will ultimately hit $200K and surge beyond it, as the asset is built for the future of finance.

Per a leading financial giant, Standard Chartered, BTC may ultimately hit $200K by the end of Q3 2025.
