You Won’t Believe Which Tech Titan Bitcoin Just Toppled!

  • Bitcoin gobbles up Amazon’s market cap like Augustus Gloop at a chocolate fountain—now worth $2.045 trillion and that cheeky $104K mark.
  • Amazon’s getting nudged to play with digital coins in its treasure chest—Wall Street suits everywhere are sweating profusely into their ties.💼💰

Roll up, roll up, ladies and gentlemen! Gaze in awe as Bitcoin [BTC], that mischievous digital coin born in the wild lands of the internet, has broken through the magical $100K barrier (again!), landing triumphantly at $104,000. One can only imagine Jeff Bezos’ monocle popping clean off.

Freshly delivered by the elves at CoinMarketCap: BTC dazzled, trading at $103,234.98 when someone probably choked on their morning coffee, boasting a healthy 3.67% bounce for the day and a jaw-dropping 33.63% leap in just a month. Cryptic? Certainly. Profitable? Apparently!

But here comes the real golden ticket: Bitcoin has leapfrogged Amazon’s beanstalk, snatching a juicier market cap.

Bitcoin outmuscles Amazon (no protein shakes required)

On the whimsical day of May 9th, Bitcoin’s value ballooned to a plump $2.045 trillion—leaping just past Amazon’s $2.039 trillion. Oompa-Loompa cheer not included.

While Amazon shares tiptoed up, trading at $192.08 (nice try, Bezos), Bitcoin was busy inviting itself to the rich kids’ table. Not only did it hop over Amazon—it also tiptoed past silver, Google’s parent Alphabet, and even Zuckerberg’s Meta empire. That’s not a portfolio, that’s a conga line! 🎉

Enter Sina G., co-founder and COO of 21st Capital, stage left —

“Bitcoin just surpassed Amazon to become the 5th largest asset in the world.

– No CEO

– No headquarters

– No marketing team

Just code, conviction, and global demand. Next stop: NVIDIA.” 🚀

Not so long ago, Bitcoin was what your uncle warned you about at dinner parties—a “fringe” experiment for eccentrics. Now? It’s sitting with the grown-ups, nibbling caviar and swapping anecdotes about international finance. Bitcoin, you rascal.

How did it get this fat? A tale of growth

This isn’t Bitcoin’s first rodeo against Big Tech. Last April (2025, but time flies in cryptoland), it pulled a quick one by overtaking Amazon and Google when it hit $1.86 trillion, all while politicians and tech moguls argued over tariffs (and who gets the best parking spot).

This time, its surge above $100K looks meatier—like a giant peach that won’t bruise. Bitcoin didn’t just peak, it practically perched atop the money tree, especially after a momentous $109K spike during President Trump’s 2025 re-inauguration. Yes, plot twists and drama—couldn’t script it better.

The fireworks haven’t just stunned traders. With nearly $1 billion in liquidations and 190,000+ traders left blinking in confusion, it’s the wildest short squeeze since 2021. Potato sack races? Amateur hour compared to this chaos, says CoinGlass.

Amazon ponders: should we join the coin circus?

As Bitcoin muscles in on serious finance turf, even the suits at Amazon are glancing over their shoulders. In December 2024, the National Center for Public Policy Research (who sound very serious indeed) tried nudging Amazon to stash some of its $88 billion savings into Bitcoin’s piggy bank.

Their proposal? Don’t just stare at flashy crypto headlines—grab a golden ticket! Apparently, when Bitcoin goes on a sugar rush, even corporate boardrooms start daydreaming about blockchain and treasure hunts. 🏴‍☠️💎
