Bitcoin has fallen to 13th place among the world's largest global assets, with its price dropping to roughly $76,000 and market capitalization down to $1.5 trillion. The cryptocurrency has struggled throughout 2026, falling 11% year-to-date and nearly 30% over the past 12 months, as investors rotate capital into higher-performing sectors.
Precious metals have been major beneficiaries. Gold surged to a record $5,600 per ounce in January before easing to around $4,486, while silver climbed as high as $120 per ounce and now trades near $76. The rally pushed silver to become the world's fifth largest asset by market capitalization, underscoring demand for traditional safe havens amid economic uncertainty.
The AI and semiconductor boom has also outpaced bitcoin. The Magnificent Seven ETF gained 33% over the past year. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Broadcom both surpassed bitcoin in market cap, each valued at around $2 trillion. Micron Technology recently crossed the $1 trillion threshold, while Samsung sits just behind bitcoin at roughly $1.3 trillion.
