Bitcoin Falls Out of Global Top 10 Assets as Market Cap Drops Below $1.5 Trillion

Bitcoin has slipped out of the world’s top 10 assets by market capitalization after a sharp market decline pushed its total value below $1.5 trillion. The drop comes as investors shift attention toward precious metals and fast growing artificial intelligence stocks.

Bitcoin’s price dropped from nearly $83,000 earlier in May to around $72,400, reducing its market capitalization from approximately $1.66 trillion to $1.45 trillion. As a result, Bitcoin now ranks 13th among the world’s largest assets by market value.

Btc has fallen behind major global companies and assets, including Saudi Aramco, Tesla and Meta Platforms. Market analysts say capital rotation into safer assets and high-growth technology sectors has weighed on crypto demand.

Gold, Silver and AI Stocks Outperform Bitcoin

Gold and silver have gained strong momentum in 2026, supported by geopolitical uncertainty and investor demand for traditional safe-haven assets. Gold previously climbed to $5,600 per ounce, while silver surged near $120.

At the same time, semiconductor and AI-related companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Broadcom have posted stronger gains, overtaking Bitcoin in market capitalization rankings.

Bitcoin Death Cross Raises Market Concerns

Some analysts are also watching a possible “death cross” in Bitcoin’s realized price chart, a signal that previously appeared during major bear markets. However, several market observers believe Bitcoin’s long-term scarcity still supports a bullish outlook despite current weakness.
