In brief:
₿- Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $118,672.53 and briefly surpassed Amazon with a $2.36 trillion market cap, positioning itself as the fifth-largest asset globally.
₿- Growing global adoption of Bitcoin and the rising appeal of stablecoins signal a broader shift toward blockchain-based finance and away from traditional systems.
Bitcoin has shattered records once again. On July 11, 2025, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap hit a new all-time high of $118,672.53, according to CoinGecko. The historic milestone underscores Bitcoin’s rapid growth and increasing dominance in the global financial landscape.
Also, Bitcoin’s market cap surged to $2.36 trillion, briefly overtaking Amazon to become the fifth-largest asset in the world by market capitalization. Amazon, a tech titan long considered one of the most valuable companies globally, was momentarily left behind as Bitcoin surged ahead.
Apple could be Bitcoin’s next big milestone
With Bitcoin now ahead of Amazon, Apple is squarely in sight. The iPhone maker currently holds a market cap of approximately $3.16 trillion.
In order to overtake Apple, Bitcoin would need to climb to around $159,000 per coin, assuming Apple’s valuation remains stable.
That target is no longer out of reach. The recent surge shows just how fast the cryptocurrency market is evolving, and with increasing institutional adoption and growing demand across the globe, Bitcoin is steadily narrowing the gap.
Global BTC adoption fuels market confidence
Bitcoin’s explosive growth reflects a shift in public sentiment and increasing trust in decentralized digital assets. Once dismissed as speculative or niche, Bitcoin is now embraced by institutions, retail investors, and even governments seeking alternatives to traditional fiat currencies.
Meanwhile, tech companies continue their own race.
Microsoft currently ranks second by market cap at $3.7 trillion, while Nvidia, the AI chip leader, has become the most valuable company globally with a valuation surpassing $4 trillion. Yet Bitcoin’s climb is a reminder that digital assets are now competing with — and in some cases surpassing — Silicon Valley’s biggest names.
Bitcoin eyes the top spot in the decade ahead
While gold remains the most valuable asset with a $22.6 trillion market cap, experts believe Bitcoin could take that crown as early as this decade. BTC offers younger generations a digital alternative to gold, one that fits the modern age and offers superior portability and accessibility.
As Bitcoin maintains its upward momentum, it is no longer just a speculative asset. With every milestone, the world’s first cryptocurrency reinforces its role as a cornerstone of the digital economy.
At the same time, stablecoins are becoming increasingly attractive to users and institutions seeking fast, transparent, and reliable ways to move money globally — further accelerating the mainstream shift toward blockchain-based finance.
