Bitcoin Joins Elite Club: The Crypto King Rockets To No. 5 Spot Among World’s Most Valuable Assets

Source Bitcoinist

Once again, Bitcoin, the leading digital currency, has made yet another significant milestone in the ever-evolving world of finance, moving one more step ahead among the top global assets. With this notable achievement, the crypto king has proven its position as one of the most valuable assets ever created.

The World’s Fifth Most Valuable Asset Is Bitcoin

Bitcoin continues to make headlines as the flagship digital asset undergoes a key milestone in the broader financial sector. Brian Harrod, head of The Harrod Report, shared a post on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, revealing that BTC has moved up another step in world asset ranking.

In the post, Harrod stated that Bitcoin has recently risen to the status of one of the world’s financial titans as the fifth-largest set globally by market capitalization. This crucial milestone comes as the crypto king experiences a substantial price rally toward a new all-time high, reaching a value of $123,000 as of today.

Along with pushing Bitcoin over several blue-chip behemoths, this powerful spike also demonstrates how popular it is becoming among conventional financial heavyweights. Surpassing well-known companies and even coming dangerously near to traditional safe-haven titans, the development underscores BTC’s journey from a mere asset to a mainstream asset.

According to the ranking shared by Harrod, BTC dethroned the popular asset Amazon to secure the No. 5 spot in the financial sector. BTC’s market capitalization is now valued at a whopping $2.360 trillion, drawing closer to Apple, which occupies the No. 4 position.

The first position remains occupied by Gold, with a market value of over $22.470 trillion. Meanwhile, NVIDIA, with $4.031 trillion market value, and Microsoft, with a $3.727 trillion market value, are in the second and third spots, respectively.

Harrod noted that the switch, which has happened before, demonstrates the volatility and quick changes in relative values between one of the biggest publicly traded technological businesses and the ten-year-old cryptocurrency. As institutional adoption of BTC widens, this milestone marks a symbolic victory and its evolving status as a key player in the financial hierarchy.

BTC Is The Performing Asset In 2025

While Bitcoin moves up in leading global assets, public firms and organizations are beginning to recognize its presence and performance in the sector. United States banking behemoth Bank of America recently declared BTC the best-performing currency so far in 2025.

According to the bank’s data, the value of the digital asset has doubled since the year began, surpassing that of traditional havens. These include Gold and the S&P 500, the broad US equity benchmark.

The article goes on to say that the 100% year-to-date gain solidifies Bitcoin’s position as the most robust asset of the previous ten years. Although the data did not identify the factors that led to the most recent surge, the designation highlights how the price performance of cryptocurrencies in comparison to other major asset classes is becoming more widely recognized.
