Bitcoin has lost its position in the global asset capitalization ranking and currently holds the 13th place with a total market value of $1.52 trillion. Over the past six months, its capitalization has decreased by 16.5%, marking a significant retreat compared to previous years.

Rise of Precious Metals and the “Magnificent Seven”
In November 2024, Bitcoin managed to surpass silver, but currently, this precious metal has climbed to the fifth spot. The reason for this rise has been increased attention to silver and gold amid geopolitical uncertainty that prevailed at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. It was during this time that gold set a new historical high, with its market capitalization exceeding $30 trillion. However, in May, gold experienced a correction due to macroeconomic factors and a significant amount of leverage that affected its value.
Silver, on the other hand, shows potential for further growth. As expert Jordan Roy-Byrne noted, the current silver-to-gold price ratio “looks promising” and may indicate a breakthrough in this market segment.

Tech Giants Outpace Bitcoin
In addition to precious metals, Bitcoin has also fallen behind all the companies in the so-called “Magnificent Seven,” which includes Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla. These tech corporations have significantly strengthened their positions, largely due to the active development of artificial intelligence and the growing demand for innovative solutions.
The performance of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, which provides exposure to these companies, confirms the trend: since May 2025, their value has increased by 31.6% year over year. This indicates a strengthening role of the tech sector in the global capitalization market.
Currently, analysts also note that Bitcoin has failed to take advantage of favorable market conditions, lagging behind the stock sector in terms of growth rates and investment attractiveness.
