Bitcoin isn’t a company, but it sure behaves like one on the balance sheet — and according traders of prediction market Kalshi, it has a 33% chance of hitting $150,000 before January.
With a trillion-dollar market cap and Wall Street watching its every move, the world’s most famous cryptocurrency now trades places with America’s corporate titans.
The question isn’t just whether Bitcoin is an asset class — it’s whether it’s competing directly with Big Tech, Big Oil, and Big Everything.
Bitcoin’s Market Cap
As of mid-August 2025, Bitcoin’s market capitalization sits around $1.2 trillion, swinging daily but still placing it among America’s elite in raw size.
Against Apple
Apple remains America’s most valuable company at roughly $3.7 trillion. That makes Bitcoin worth about one-third of Apple — less than the iPhone empire, but closer than skeptics ever expected.
Against Microsoft
Microsoft trades neck-and-neck with Apple, hovering near $3.5 trillion. Bitcoin is again about one-third the size, showing just how entrenched Big Tech is at the top.
Against Nvidia
The AI boom has Nvidia soaring to roughly $3.2 trillion in value. Bitcoin sits far lower — but here’s the kicker: only three years ago, Nvidia wasn’t even in the trillion-club. That’s how quickly dominance can flip.
Against Amazon
Amazon’s market cap is roughly $2.1 trillion. Bitcoin is a little over half that — putting crypto surprisingly close to one of America’s biggest economic engines.
Against Alphabet (Google)
Alphabet holds steady around $2.2 trillion. Bitcoin once again clocks in at just over half, making it a serious rival in sheer size to Silicon Valley’s search giant.
Against Meta
Meta (Facebook) is worth around $1.4 trillion. Bitcoin is right on its heels — sometimes ahead, sometimes behind, depending on the week. This is Bitcoin’s closest peer in the trillion-club.
Against Berkshire Hathaway
Berkshire’s diversified empire clocks in around $1.0 trillion. Here, Bitcoin is actually larger, overtaking Warren Buffett’s corporate fortress in market value.
Against ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil sits near $550 billion. That puts Bitcoin at more than twice the size of America’s oil giant — proof of crypto’s leap into mainstream value.
The Takeaway
Bitcoin doesn’t make iPhones, ship packages, or drill oil — but its $1.2 trillion weight rivals entire industries. Against America’s biggest companies, it’s already outpacing some and creeping up on others. The question now: is Bitcoin a currency, a commodity, or one of the largest “companies” in the world by default?
