Bitcoin has tumbled to 13th place among the world's largest global assets, with its price falling to roughly $76,000 and market capitalization shrinking to $1.5 trillion. The decline marks an 11% drop year-to-date and a nearly 30% slide over the past 12 months, as investor capital rotated away from crypto and into high-performing traditional sectors.
Precious metals were among the primary beneficiaries of this rotation. Gold surged to a record $5,600 per ounce in January before settling around $4,486, while silver peaked at $120 per ounce and now trades near $76. This rally propelled silver to become the world's fifth-largest asset by market cap, underscoring robust demand for safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the boom in artificial intelligence and semiconductor stocks has far outpaced Bitcoin. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF gained 33% over the past year, and chipmakers Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Broadcom (AVGO) — each now valued at around $2 trillion — have both surpassed Bitcoin's market cap, ranking eighth and ninth globally. Micron Technology (MU) recently crossed the $1 trillion valuation threshold, and Samsung, at nearly $1.3 trillion, now sits just behind Bitcoin.
