Bitcoin drops to 13th largest asset as capital flees to AI and precious metals
Summary
Bitcoin has slipped to 13th place among the world’s largest assets, with a market capitalization of $1.5 trillion following a difficult 2026. As investors seek alternatives to the struggling cryptocurrency, significant capital has moved into precious metals like gold and silver, as well as high-performing sectors in artificial intelligence and semiconductors. Semiconductor giants such as TSMC, Broadcom, and Micron Technology have experienced major valuation gains, with many surpassing Bitcoin's market cap as global markets favor traditional safe havens and the ongoing AI-driven technology boom.
