At its current price of around $20,700, Bitcoin has surpassed palladium in terms of value. At its peak in mid-October 2021, Bitcoin’s market cap of $1.23 trillion put it above Alphabet’s current $1.21 trillion cap. At a $1.23 trillion market cap, Bitcoin was also a more valuable asset than silver currently is, as its market cap stands at $1.10 trillion in October 2022.
