Bitcoin (BTC) now ranks as the world's fifth largest asset by market capitalization, surpassing Alphabet (Google).
At $1.87 trillion, it's tailing only behind gold, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. This leap marks a significant "decoupling" from the usual correlation with US tech stocks. Despite recent gains, it's still below its all-time high of $109,000.
Political maneuvers, notably Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, are sparking renewed interest.
With Alphabet facing challenges, Bitcoin shines, embodying resilience amid economic shifts.
