CoinGecko data shows that Bitcoin's market capitalization ranking among major global assets has dropped to 17th place, a notable decline from its previous top positions. According to the report, Bitcoin is now nearing exclusion from the top 20, as market capital flows increasingly shift toward AI chipmakers and aerospace-related companies.
SK Hynix and Micron rank ahead of it.
The article states that semiconductor companies driving the recent expansion of AI infrastructure continue to rise, with South Korean memory chip maker SK Hynix and U.S. chip company Micron Technology both surpassing Bitcoin.
Among them, SK Hynix has a market capitalization of approximately $1.32 trillion, ranking 15th globally; Micron Technology is around $1.3 trillion, placing 16th. In comparison, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is approximately $1.262 trillion.
- SK Hynix: approximately $1.32 trillion
- Micron Technology: Approximately $1.3 trillion
- Bitcoin: approximately $1.262 trillion
The higher point has clearly pulled back.
The article states that Bitcoin's current market capitalization has significantly declined from its historical peak. According to the data provided, Bitcoin reached a market capitalization of approximately $2.5 trillion in October 2025, at which time it ranked among the top global assets, trailing only a few major technology companies.
According to this statement, at the time, Bitcoin's market size at one point exceeded that of most companies in the S&P 500 and approached the tier of mega-tech companies such as NVIDIA, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Elon Musk's personal wealth was also compared.
The article also states that, following SpaceX’s IPO and subsequent valuation reevaluation, Musk’s personal net worth has risen to approximately $1.4 trillion, surpassing the current total market capitalization of Bitcoin. According to the article, Musk holds about 42% of SpaceX’s shares, and the rise in stock price after the listing has significantly accelerated his personal wealth growth.
The core comparison in this article is not about single-price fluctuations, but rather about a global shift in capital preferences toward AI chips, aerospace, and large-cap tech assets. Although Bitcoin remains among the world’s highest-market-cap assets, its relative ranking has clearly declined.
