Bitcoin surpasses Amazon: a turning point in the hierarchy of global assets!
On May 8, 2025, Bitcoin crossed a symbolic milestone by becoming the fifth most valued asset worldwide, with a market capitalization of over 2.03 trillion dollars — surpassing Amazon’s. This progress highlights the gradual shift of Bitcoin into the category of systemic assets on a global scale.
A capitalization rivaling traditional capitalism giants
By surpassing Amazon, Bitcoin now positions itself just behind Apple, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, and Alphabet. Unlike these companies that rely on classical business models — revenues, profits, centralized governance — Bitcoin establishes itself as an atypical asset: with no revenue, no hierarchical structure, but with a unique proposition of algorithmic scarcity and monetary neutrality.
This rise reflects not only growing institutional adoption but also an implicit recognition of its role as a store of value in a uncertain monetary and geopolitical context.
A strategic asset in structural mutation
BTC’s performance since the beginning of 2025 (+56% YTD) is the result of a convergence of factors: capital inflows via spot ETFs, halving dynamics, clearer regulation, and increased demand from emerging markets. Its current valuation translates a perception transformation: Bitcoin is no longer a peripheral speculative asset, but a strategic diversification tool in institutional portfolios.
The comparison with Amazon, a tech giant whose annual revenues are close to 500 billion dollars, highlights the value the market assigns to a decentralized monetary protocol based on distributed trust rather than cash flow generation.
Bitcoin surpassing Amazon is not just a market fact: it is a geo-economic signal. It consecrates Bitcoin’s entry into the restricted circle of globally influential assets, capable of attracting massive flows without relying on a classical business model.
At a time when lines are shifting in global finance, Bitcoin imposes a new form of value: digital, autonomous, apolitical — and now comparable to the pillars of globalized capitalism.
