After initially hitting the milestone late last year, Bitcoin’s market capitalization dipped to nearly $1.5 trillion in Q1 2025 due to macroeconomic headwinds. However, a renewed risk-on sentiment spurred by the China-U.S. trade agreement has propelled Bitcoin back to a $2 trillion valuation, marking its status as the sixth most valuable asset globally.
BTC Set to Join the Ranks of the Top 5 Global Assets
As of the latest data, Bitcoin trades at $102,000, boasting a market cap of $2.046 trillion.
Only seven assets now exceed a $2 trillion market cap, with Google in seventh and Amazon in the top five at $2.182 trillion.

If the market caps of the current top five assets remain stable, Bitcoin would need to reach $110,000 to surpass Amazon as the fifth-largest asset and would require a price above $158,000 to overtake Apple, the fourth largest at $3.155 trillion.
Analysts suggest that Bitcoin’s target range of $110,000 to $200,000 is achievable by December 2025, indicating a viable path to becoming the world’s fourth most valuable asset this year.
What factors are fueling Bitcoin’s meteoric rise? According to CryptoQuant, the primary driver behind this growth is the influx from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, as evidenced by an increase in realized capitalization.
Since the lows in April, the realized cap has surged from $869 billion to $906 billion, indicating over $36 billion in new capital within the last six weeks.
CryptoQuant suggests that this upward trend in realized cap positions Bitcoin for a new all-time high (ATH).
“If the trend of increasing realized capitalization continues, suggesting ongoing investor confidence in Bitcoin, it is very likely that Bitcoin will surpass its ATH in the near future.”

Should these projections hold true, Bitcoin may indeed topple Amazon from its current position among the top five global assets.
Conclusion
In summary, Bitcoin’s remarkable resurgence and potential ascendance to the top ranks of global assets are indicative of rapidly evolving market dynamics. With increasing investor confidence backed by substantial ETF inflows, Bitcoin could soon make history by knocking Amazon out of the top five. Stakeholders should remain vigilant as these developments unfold.
