How Much Higher Does Bitcoin Need To Go To Surpass Gold’s Market Cap? Here Is That Critical Price Point

Bitcoin reached an all-time high, reaching as high as $123,000. Following this historic surge, investors and analysts have begun to re-discuss the next big goal for the world’s largest digital asset: reaching the market capitalization of gold. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is hovering around $117,252 and its total market capitalization is around $2.34 trillion. In comparison, gold’s estimated total market capitalization is $23.13 trillion. This means Bitcoin currently represents only 10.09% of gold’s market capitalization. Analysts estimate that for Bitcoin to “flip”—or surpass—gold’s market capitalization, its price would need to rise to $1,161,767, representing an increase of approximately 890% from today’s level.

While Bitcoin has gained over 1,168 percent in the last five years, gold’s return has been only around 85 percent. Over the three-year period, Bitcoin has risen 470 percent, while gold’s return has remained at 92 percent. This comparison paints a similar picture over the two-year, one-year, and three-month periods. For example, since the beginning of 2025, BTC has increased by approximately 25%, while gold has gained around 26%. However, in just the last three months, Bitcoin has gained over 38%, while gold has only gained around 3%. In the last month, Bitcoin has risen by more than 11%, while gold has lost 4%. There are also significant differences between the two assets on the supply side. Bitcoin’s annual supply growth is around 0.83%, while gold’s is estimated at around 1.72%. Furthermore, Bitcoin’s halving mechanism, which occurs every four years, further reduces new supply, making the digital asset even more scarce. *This is not investment advice.
