Move Over, Google—Bitcoin Is Now One of the Top 6 Assets Worldwide

According to recent market data, Bitcoin has overtaken Google to become the sixth-largest asset in the world by market capitalization. Its value now sits at $2.12 trillion, edging out Google’s $2.07 trillion. That shift has drawn attention across finance desks and crypto chats alike.
