The price of bitcoin (BTC) skyrocketed above 90,000 dollars, a level not seen for 2 months.
Bitcoin (BTC) left silver and Alphabet (Google) behind and became the fifth most valuable asset in the world.
This financial milestone was made possible after the market capitalization of bitcoin surpassed 1.861 trillion dollars.
According to data from CompaniesMarketCap, silver has a market capitalization of 1.858 trillion dollars, while Google has a value of 1.859 trillion dollars.
To reach the top spot in the global ranking, the currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto must surpass other giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, and gold. The precious metal is the most valuable asset in the world, with a market capitalization exceeding 22.466 trillion dollars.
One detail that does not go unnoticed in the previous image is that, except for gold and BTC, the rest of the companies and silver have the chart in red. This reinforces the role of digital currency as a safe-haven asset in times of economic uncertainty and political tensions.
The achievement came after a price increase of 5% in the last 24 hours.
At the time of publishing this note, the price of BTC is 93,500 dollars, 14% below its all-time high (ATH) of 109,110 dollars, reached in January 2025.
The reason explaining this price surge is that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, reactivated trade negotiations with India and Europe, easing the tensions generated by the 'tariff war' globally.
On the other hand, Trump continues to pressure the head of the Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell, to lower interest rates and warned of a possible economic collapse if action is not taken swiftly.
In this context, he suggested that Powell's departure as head of the agency should not be postponed. However, during Tuesday, Trump himself dismissed that possibility, which was interpreted as a positive signal for the digital assets market.
Finally, it is important to mention the announcement from Trump Media and Technology Group, which plans to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on digital assets and U.S. stocks, in partnership with Crypto.com and Yorkville. The goal is to attract investors betting on the economic and technological growth of the United States.
The strength that BTC is demonstrating amid the general decline of financial markets, caused by the 'tariff war' driven by Trump, reinforces its role as a safe-haven asset against economic uncertainty.
BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, rated BTC as a 'unique diversifier asset,' arguing that 'its unique characteristics can make it a hedge against risks that traditional assets cannot address, particularly in times of greater geopolitical and economic uncertainty.'
These characteristics are that it has a controlled issuance of 21 million units, which is reduced every 4 years in an event known as halving. This is a factor that influences its price in the medium and long term.
Digital currency, unlike fiat money, does not constantly devalue due to issuance or central bank monetary decisions.
Another key point is its decentralized nature and the impossibility of governments or banks interfering or blocking operations within the network.
