Bitcoin is the fifth most valuable asset in the world after overcoming La Plata and Google

Bitcoin (BTC) left La Plata and Alphabet (Google) behind, and was located as the fifth asset with the highest value worldwide.

This financial milestone was possible after Bitcoin market capitalization will exceed 1,861 billion dollars (Trillionsin English).

According to CompaniesMarketCap data, La Plata has a market capitalization of 1,858 billion dollars, while Google has a value of 1,859 billion dollars.

To reach first place in the global ranking, the currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto must overcome other giants such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple and Gold. The precious metal is the most valuable asset in the world, with a market capitalization of more than 22,466 billion dollars.

A fact that does not go unnoticed in the previous image, is that except for gold and BTC, the rest of the companies and the silver have the graphic in red. This reinforces the role of digital currency as an asset of refuge in times of economic uncertainty and political tensions.

The achievement occurred after an increase in price of 5% in the last 24 hours.

At the time of publication of this note, the BTC price is $ 93,500, 14% below its historical maximum (ATH) of 109,110 dollars, reached in January 2025.

As Cryptonotics reported, the reason that explains this price rebound is that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, reactivated trade negotiations with India and Europe, relieving the tensions generated by the “war of tariffs” globally.

On the other hand, Trump continues to press the head of the Federal Reserve (FED), Jerome Powell, to lower interest rates and warned about a possible economic collapse if it does not act quickly.

In this context, he suggested that Powell’s departure as president of the agency should not be postponed. However, in the course of Tuesday, Trump himself ruled out that possibility, which It was interpreted as a positive signal for the digital asset market.

Finally, it is important to mention the announcement of Trump Media and Technology Group, which plans to launch funds quoted in the stock market (ETF) focused on digital assets and US actions, in alliance with Crypto.com and Yorkville. The objective is to attract investors who bet on the economic and technological growth of the United States.

The strength that BTC is demonstrating in the midst of the general fall of the financial markets, caused by the “tariff war” promoted by Trump, reinforces its role as an asset of refuge against economic uncertainty.

Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager, described BTC as a “unique diversifying active”, arguing that “its unique characteristics can make it a coverage against risks that traditional assets cannot address, particularly in times of greater geopolitical and economic uncertainty.”

These characteristics are that it has a controlled broadcast in 21 million units, which is reduced every 4 years in an event known as halving. This is a factor that influences its price in the medium and long term.

The digital currency, unlike the fíat money, It is not constantly devalued by emission or monetary decisions of the central banks.

Another key point is its decentralized character and the impossibility of governments or banks interfering or blocking operations within the network.
