Changes in the Structure of Top Assets: Precious Metals and Tech Companies
Previously, Bitcoin had repeatedly been in the top ten leaders. Notably, in November 2024, it managed to surpass silver in capitalization, but now this asset has returned to the top and occupies fifth place. The situation changed due to increased demand for precious metals, primarily gold and silver, observed at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 due to geopolitical tensions. At that time, gold set a new historical high, raising its market capitalization above $30 trillion.
However, at the beginning of May, this market segment underwent a correction due to macroeconomic factors and significant leverage, leading to a decline in gold prices. Against this backdrop, silver appears more promising, as noted by expert Jordan Roy-Byrne in mid-May. He pointed out that the current silver-to-gold price ratio “looks promising” and may indicate a future breakthrough.

The Impact of Technology and AI on Bitcoin’s Position
In addition to precious metals, Bitcoin has given way to all companies from the so-called “Magnificent Seven” – the seven largest American tech corporations: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla. Their capitalization has significantly increased due to the global trend in artificial intelligence, which is driving demand for shares of these companies.
This is confirmed by the dynamics of the stock price of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF, which provides exposure to these companies. Over the year, its stock price has risen by 31.6%.
Thus, Bitcoin is currently lagging behind the stock market, as confirmed by analysts. Despite this, the digital asset retains significant capital and continues to be a major player in the global market.
