Bitcoin has fallen out of the world’s ten largest assets by market capitalization and now sits in 13th position following a broad sell off across crypto markets.
This marks a sharp reversal from July 2025, when Bitcoin surged above $119,000 and climbed ahead of silver and tech giant Alphabet in global rankings.
A Notable Shift in Market Standing
Figures from CompaniesMarketCap dated February 2, 2026, place Bitcoin’s market value at roughly $1.55 trillion. At this level, it now trails assets such as silver, valued at about $4.62 trillion, as well as major corporations including Tesla and Broadcom.
Just over six months ago, Bitcoin’s market cap stood near $2.35 trillion, earning it the sixth spot globally and allowing it to overtake both silver and Alphabet. The recent drop reflects sustained pressure on crypto prices alongside unusual volatility in commodity markets.
Bitcoin fell below $75,000 on February 2, its lowest level since April 2025. Data shows BTC is down more than 11% over the past week and over 16% in the last two weeks. Ethereum has declined even more sharply, falling over 21% in seven days and roughly 25% over the past month, pushing it down to 66th place in overall asset rankings.
The broader crypto market has lost around $500 billion in capitalization since last Wednesday. At the same time, precious metals shed an estimated $10 trillion. Even after recent volatility, silver alone remains larger than Bitcoin and the entire altcoin market combined, rebounding to around $87 per ounce after falling into the low $70s from recent highs.
Impact of a Wider Market Repricing
Gold continues to dominate global asset rankings, holding the top spot with a market cap near $33 trillion. Other major assets in the top tier include NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, and Saudi Aramco.
Silver’s position as the third most valuable asset highlights how quickly market dynamics have shifted. Earlier in 2025, Bitcoin briefly surpassed silver during its rally. Now, silver’s valuation is once again nearly three times larger than Bitcoin’s.
Alphabet, which Bitcoin had also overtaken last year, is now ranked fourth globally with a market cap just above $4 trillion, followed by Apple at approximately $3.8 trillion.
The synchronized sell offs across crypto, commodities, and equities suggest the current volatility is part of a broader market adjustment. Investors are watching closely to see whether capital eventually rotates back into cryptocurrencies or continues to favor traditional assets.
