Bitcoin Overtakes Google, Amazon, and Meta

Bitcoin has climbed the global asset rankings in a way that seemed impossible just a few years ago. It’s now worth more than three of the biggest tech giants. Only gold ($22.87 trillion), NVIDIA ($4.43 trillion), Microsoft ($3.87 trillion), and Apple ($3.46 trillion) are ahead. In crypto, Bitcoin still leads with about 59.78% of the market and daily trading volumes over $96 billion.

Bitcoin’s Rapid Climb In Global Rankings

The scale of this move becomes clearer when looking back at its trajectory. Last year, bitcoin was trading around $40,000 following the approval of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs. Since then, it has climbed more than 200%. Key moments along the way include a brief overtaking of Google in April 2025 at $94,000, crossing $109,000 in May to secure the fifth spot globally, and surpassing Amazon in July at $122,600. Now it is firmly ahead of Google with its latest all-time high.

Trump Policies push Record Levels

This rally has been driven by institutional adoption on a large scale. Spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have accumulated more than $50 billion in net inflows, a record for any ETF category. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the field with over $53 billion in gross inflows, now holding more than 700,000 BTC. These holdings account for around 3.64 million BTC, roughly 17% of the total supply. 

The policy environment has turned more supportive as well. The Trump administration’s GENIUS Act has introduced the first federal stablecoin framework, while the CLARITY Act moved digital asset oversight from the SEC to the CFTC. An executive order established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, halting federal BTC sales and exploring new acquisition strategies through asset forfeitures. There is also consideration of adding bitcoin to 401(k) retirement plans, a move that could eventually unlock as much as $90 trillion in potential investment capital.

Analysts See Room For Further Gains

Market signals point to further upside. Longer-term scenarios suggest $150,000 could be reached if current inflows persist, with $175,000 needed to overtake Apple’s market cap and $250,000 possible under favorable macro conditions such as a Federal Reserve shift toward quantitative easing. The macro backdrop already leans supportive, with U.S. CPI at 2.7%, a 93.7% probability of a September rate cut, and a weaker dollar making bitcoin more attractive globally.

What stands out is that bitcoin overtakes Google and other tech leaders not on speculative hype but on a foundation of scarcity, consistent institutional buying, and regulatory clarity. Exchange reserves continue to decline, long-term holders are largely accumulating, and major financial voices now view it as a legitimate portfolio component alongside gold. The milestone signals mainstream acceptance that bitcoin assets are now treated as digital gold and a hedge against both inflation and currency risk.

Bitcoin’s Position As A Permanent Global Asset

This shift in global asset rankings is unlikely to be a one-off. With ETF demand holding strong, corporate adoption accelerating, and governments like El Salvador showcasing high returns from early accumulation, bitcoin’s place among the world’s most valuable assets looks increasingly permanent. Whether the next step is challenging Apple or closing the gap with Microsoft, the momentum behind Bitcoin, worth more than Google, Amazon, and Meta, reflects a structural change in how value is stored and measured worldwide.
