According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin's market capitalization ranking among major global assets has fallen to 17th, a significant drop from its previous prominent position. The article suggests that Bitcoin is now close to falling out of the top 20, with market funds increasingly flowing into AI chip and aerospace-related companies.
SK Hynix and Micron ranked ahead of it.
The article states that semiconductor companies that have recently driven the expansion of AI infrastructure continue to rise, with South Korean memory chip manufacturer SK Hynix and US chip company Micron Technology both surpassing Bitcoin.
SK Hynix has a market capitalization of approximately $1.32 trillion, ranking 15th globally; Micron Technology has a market capitalization of approximately $1.3 trillion, ranking 16th. In comparison, Bitcoin's market capitalization is approximately $1.262 trillion.
- SK Hynix: Approximately US$1.32 trillion
- Micron Technology: Approximately $1.3 trillion
- Bitcoin: Approximately $1.262 trillion
The price has clearly fallen from its high point.
The article states that Bitcoin's current market capitalization has shrunk significantly from its historical high. The article cites data showing that Bitcoin's market capitalization reached approximately $2.5 trillion in October 2025, placing it among the top-ranked assets globally, behind only a few large technology companies.
According to this account, Bitcoin's size at one point exceeded that of most companies in the S&P 500 index, approaching the tier of mega-tech companies such as Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Musk's personal wealth was also compared.
The article also mentions that with SpaceX's IPO and subsequent valuation repricing, Musk's personal net worth has risen to approximately $1.4 trillion, exceeding the current total market capitalization of Bitcoin. The article states that Musk holds approximately 42% of SpaceX's shares, and the post-IPO stock price increase has driven his personal wealth to grow rapidly.
The core comparison in this article is not simply about price fluctuations, but rather the shift in global capital preferences towards AI chips, aerospace, and large-cap technology assets. While Bitcoin remains among the world's highest-valued assets, its relative ranking has clearly declined.
