Bitcoin has climbed past $70,000, making it the world's ninth-largest asset by market capitalization, surpassing publicly traded companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Berkshire Hathaway, as well as precious metals. Despite overtaking silver's market value in March, the leading cryptocurrency must reach $84,740 per coin to match silver's current $1.67 trillion valuation.

Bitcoin is now the ninth-largest asset globally in terms of market capitalization. Its market cap exceeds Meta's $1.2 trillion and Berkshire Hathaway's $887.57 billion valuations. However, silver has seen a substantial increase in its valuation since March, when Bitcoin surpassed its market cap. At that time, silver's global market capitalization was $1.38 trillion, but it has now grown to $1.67 trillion.

Silver has experienced notable growth over the past few months. On March 11, 2024, when Bitcoin overtook its market cap, silver was trading at $24.70 per ounce. Today, it trades at $29.68 per ounce, reflecting a 20.16% increase over the past 85 days against the U.S. dollar. To surpass silver's current market value, Bitcoin needs to reach $84,740 per coin, given the current circulation of 19.7 million Bitcoin.

Surpassing Apple's market cap would require a significantly higher price for Bitcoin. It would need to climb to $151,210 per coin to exceed Apple's $2.98 trillion valuation. To outstrip Microsoft, the largest company in the world by market cap at $3.092 trillion, Bitcoin would need to reach $156,895 per coin. As for gold, the gap is even wider, but still under a million dollars per coin.
