Gold reached an unprecedented $30 trillion valuation on Thursday as prices soared to $4,350 per ounce, cementing a historic milestone.
To put this into perspective, gold’s total market value now dwarfs Bitcoin, which stands at around $2.1 trillion, and even exceeds the combined worth of the world’s seven largest tech giants – Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla – whose total comes to roughly $20 trillion.
Unlike corporate stock market caps, gold’s market capitalization is an estimate of the total value of all mined gold, making it an imperfect but staggering measure of wealth. The precious metal has rocketed 64% so far in 2025 as investors seek safety amid currency devaluation, geopolitical tensions, and trade disputes.
Analysts suggest Bitcoin, often called digital gold, could be poised for a surge once gold’s momentum eases. Crypto strategist Sykodelic noted that gold added more than $300 billion in market value in a single day – equivalent to a full Bitcoin market cap in just a week.
Other observers point to global liquidity trends, with M2 money supply expanding rapidly. Analyst Merlijn the Trader warned that while Bitcoin has lagged behind gold this year, such divergences rarely last and could spark a sharp catch-up rally once market flows shift.
