The rise of Bitcoin impressively continues in July 2025: With a price increase above $122,000, Bitcoin has reached a market capitalization of about $2.425 trillion, surpassing the tech giants Amazon ($2.38 trillion) and Alphabet/Google ($2.19 trillion).
Bitcoin in Fifth Place Among the Most Valuable Assets
Currently, Bitcoin ranks fifth among the most valuable assets worldwide – only Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Gold are ahead of the cryptocurrency.
This development shows the increasing acceptance of Bitcoin as a digital store of value in times of economic uncertainty, trade conflicts, and inflation fears. Investors are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional investments like Gold; Bitcoin benefits from its limited supply and its global accessibility without dependence on states or central banks.
Experts See Further Potential
Experts see further potential for the price increase: To catch up with Apple, the price would need to rise to around $158,500. In the long term, an intense competition with Gold as a safe haven is even expected. The rally also pulls other cryptocurrencies up and strengthens overall confidence in the crypto market.
Overall, this milestone signals a new phase of relevance for Bitcoin in the global financial system for many investors – moving away from a speculative object towards a serious asset class of growing importance.
