The predominant cryptocurrency of the world, Bitcoin, has been gaining a noticeably soaring trajectory, catapulting its market cap into the arenas of recorded history. Lately, it has climbed above the $1.8 trillion mark, lagging behind enormous firms like Saudi Aramco and marching toward Amazon and Alphabet (Google). This trend proves Bitcoin’s broadening the circle of acceptance as a commonly used financial asset, with its possibility of outdoing the traditional corporate empires becoming more obvious.
Bitcoin’s Recent Growth
The popularity of Bitcoin has soared due to a mixed influence of factors, such as institutional acceptance, halving, and functionality as a hedge against inflation. The price of Bitcoin, within a week, broke the all-time high record several times, thus reaching over $91,000. Its market cap ranks it among the best global companies, making it possible to talk about whether it can oust Alphabet ($2.1 trillion) and Amazon ($2.2 trillion) from the top of the tech pyramid.
Market Cap Madness
Bitcoin holds 11% of the gold market so far, based on Companieswarehouse data, which valued it at $17.68 trillion. Bitcoin also has more than half the market cap of the world’s biggest company, Nvidia, valued at $3.6 trillion, far more than even the entire silver capitalization, which is 10% more than gold.
Further, Bloomberg says a massive 6% price increase resulted from Trump’s team of advisors introducing this suggestion and debating if the government should appoint someone to the White House for cryptocurrency policy.
There may be some rocky patches shortly, but the rally has the potential to send the coin soaring past $100,000. The publication quotes market expert Tony Sycamore as saying, “They are constraining sellers, so to speak,” highlighting that the demand for it is uncontrollable.
Cointelegraph cites Sycamore’s statement: “I’m not sure it’s all going to be smooth sailing as it edges closer to the $ 100,000 mark; the demand appears to be unstoppable” Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley was clear during a speech held on the 21st of November that the world’s most enriching movement is not taxes or welfare policies, “the most wealthy global program you can get right now is in Bitcoin.”
BTC Dominance Surges
BTC market share now represents 61.8% of the total due to today’s price pump; thus, this specification suggests that ‘altcoins’ are weakening. Ethereum, which is currently consider the Netflix of crypto with its market capitalization of 377 billion US Dollars, has been the hardest hit by this crisis, as the altcoin was unable to cross the 3,100 US dollar threshold and was expose to the FOMO during the whole week. ETH has only 11% of the crypto market share, stablecoins have 5.7%, and most of the remaining altcoins are still minnows in market caps.

In Summary
It’s getting close to $2 trillion in market value because the Bitcoin price has increased so much. One bitcoin was sold for $91,000+ in the past. A strong rally made Bitcoins the top financial assets of the world, beyond such big hits as Saudi Aramco and now, tech behemoths like Alphabet and Amazon, valued at $2.1 trillion and $2.2 trillion, respectively.
The reasons for this growth of Bitcoin are institutional adoption, the improvement of regulation clarity, and Bitcoin’s appeal as a shield from inflation. Nonetheless, drawbacks like price volatility, increasing competition from other cryptocurrencies, and environmental concerns still exist. Experts foresee constant expansion, and their estimated prices are from $120,000 to $180,000 in 2025.
