Bitcoin

As the price of Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) took a sudden turn to the upside, <a href="https://finbold.com/bitcoin-blasts-through-30k-barrier-experts-predict-whats-next-for-btc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crossing the psychological threshold at $30,000</a>, its market capitalization grew by more than $35 billion in a single day. Hence, many wonder what its market cap would be if Bitcoin reached the price of $100,000.Indeed, the market cap of <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> stood at $547.49 billion just 24 hours before press time, while currently, it amounts to $582.52 billion, as per the latest <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> retrieved by Finbold from the <a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrencies/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> monitoring platform <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/best-crypto-data-websites/#CoinMarketCap" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a> on April 11.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/6be3449ecc9149e5ab51817762734899.png" />Bitcoin 24-hour market cap chart.

When multiplied, these two numbers give Bitcoin’s market cap. Considering that there are currently 19,343,306 BTC in circulation, this means that if Bitcoin were to suddenly soar to $100,000, its market cap would be roughly $1.93 trillion.If this were to happen right now, Bitcoin would have a higher market cap than many major companies and traditional assets, including <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/silver/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">silver</a> with a market cap of $1.41 trillion, Alphabet/Google (NASDAQ: <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/how-to-buy-google-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GOOG</a>) at $1.35 trillion, Amazon (NASDAQ: <a href="https://finbold.com/stock/amazon-amzn/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AMAZN</a>) at $1.02 trillion, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: <a href="https://finbold.com/stock/berkshire-hathaway-inc-stockbrk-a/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BRK.A</a>) at $688.38 billion, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: <a href="https://finbold.com/stock/nvidia-stock-nvda/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NVDA</a>) at $679.08 billion, and Tesla (NASDAQ: <a href="https://finbold.com/stock/tesla-tsla/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TSLA</a>) at $593.37 billion.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/aaf2489896de49d2b03fdfa3b359ffc9.png" />Top assets by market cap.
