Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) has overtaken Alphabet (Google) to become the world’s fifth most valuable asset by market capitalization.<\/p>\n As of April 23, Bitcoin’s market cap surged to $1.87 trillion, edging past Alphabet’s $1.859 trillion valuation, according to asset ranking data<\/a>. BTC is now behind only gold, Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia.<\/p>\n Bitcoin’s edge over Alphabet coincides with its ongoing “decoupling<\/a>” from its long-standing correlation with US tech stocks, especially in April, when BTC’s price rallied 15% despite the Nasdaq 100’s returns of 4.50% in the same period.<\/p>\n This decoupling followed months of disappointment for crypto bulls, who expected a stronger post-election rally.<\/p>\n Even with April’s gains, BTC’s price remains 16% below its $109,000 all-time high set in January, when Trump was re-inaugurated as the US president.<\/p>\n Trump’s recent criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell<\/a> and his executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve<\/a> (SBR) — which is nearing its 60-day review window — is helping reignite investor interest in crypto.<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Bitcoin could hit $1M if US buys 1M BTC — Bitcoin Policy Institute<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n “Chatter questioning Fed independence is having positive spillover effects on BTC,” said<\/a> Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33.<\/p>\n Macro analyst Fejau<\/a> stressed that capital outflows from US assets will likely benefit Bitcoin, given countries can’t tariff it — and that it “provides high beta to a portfolio without the current tail risks associated with US tech.”<\/p>\n “This market regime is what Bitcoin was built for,” he wrote, adding:<\/p>\n “One the degrossing dust settles, it will be the fastest horse out of the gate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Alphabet is facing headwinds in the form of regulatory crackdowns, antitrust challenges and a slowdown in digital ad revenue. The rise of AI-focused rivals<\/a> and reduced growth projections have also dented confidence in Google’s long-term dominance.<\/p>\n To put Bitcoin’s $1.87 trillion valuation into perspective, it’s now worth more than two Tesla companies.<\/p>\n The EV giant famously added Bitcoin to its balance sheet<\/a> in early 2021, when it was trading for around $33,500. It is now sitting on around 180% gains<\/a> worth over $1 billion.<\/p>\n This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
