On May 22, a milestone in the history of\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0took place as it managed to surpass\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>\u00a0in market capitalization. On that day, the market value of\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0reached $2.19 trillion, surpassing\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>, which stood at $2.13 trillion.<\/p>\n

This event positioned\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0as the fifth most valuable asset in the world, behind giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. It is worth noting that the increase in its value coincided with the\u00a0Bitcoin Pizza Day<\/strong>. This day commemorates how, on the same date in 2010, the first purchase using\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0as a means of payment was made.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CoinMarketCap<\/strong>\u00a0showed in its real-time data how the total cryptocurrency market capitalization reached more than $3.49 trillion. Although there are many bullish events, you should know that this is not the highest the crypto market has ever reached.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who is involved?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This historic moment involves several players from both the financial and technological ecosystems.\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0is the pioneering and most recognized cryptocurrency worldwide. Its recent price increases are due both to the actions of individual investors and to the consolidation it has been gaining in recent months, managing to surpass not only\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>, but also other tech giants like Meta or assets like silver.<\/p>\n

This milestone is considered so important, since\u00a0Amazon<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a renowned tech giant and pioneer in e-commerce and technology. That\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0has managed to surpass this giant in capitalization highlights how decentralized assets are managing to compete against the traditional.<\/p>\n

The recent momentum of\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0is not by chance and is largely due to the massive entry of institutional investors. Numerous companies, such as\u00a0BlackRock<\/strong>, have become users of this cryptocurrency. In fact, as reported<\/a> by\u00a0Cointelegraph<\/strong>,\u00a0BlackRock<\/strong>\u2019s Bitcoin ETF acquired nearly $1 billion in BTC on April 28.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Retail investors, for their part, have also participated in this event, as market sentiment is bullish these days. Mostly, this is due to factors such as the search for alternatives to inflation or safe havens in the unstable environment resulting from the new tariffs imposed by the United States.<\/p>\n

Reactions on social media to the current rally have also been key to taking\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0to these new levels. Voices in the crypto world, such as trader\u00a0Titan of Crypto<\/strong>, noted that they expected increases of up to $135,000 for this year based on their analysis with tools such as key resistance and support levels or Fibonacci.<\/p>\n

#Bitcoin $135,000 Target Still in Play for 2025 \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

The plan is unfolding perfectly.<\/p>\n

We kept stacking #BTC when everyone was panicking and got plenty of hate for it.<\/p>\n

The event did not go unnoticed, and social networks were filled with reactions to the unexpected competition between both assets.\u00a0X<\/strong>\u00a0was one of the leading platforms for so many celebrations. Users and analysts shared charts and comments celebrating both the\u00a0Bitcoin Pizza Day<\/strong>\u00a0and the surpassing of\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When did it happen?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This milestone, as we know, took place on May 22, 2025, when\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0reached a value of $2.19 trillion and\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>\u00a0was at $2.13 trillion. The event occurred in a context of all-time highs, with\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0being worth more than $110,000 per BTC. As it surpassed\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>,\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0consolidated itself as the fifth most valuable asset in the world.<\/p>\n

It is doubly important, since it coincided with the\u00a0Bitcoin Pizza Day<\/strong>. This day is so special because in 2010 the first documented purchase with\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0was made. And as expected, the purchase was for pizzas. There were two, to be exact, for a total value of 10,000 BTC.<\/p>\n

That day not only marked the first documented purchase with\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>, but also the purchase of the most expensive pizzas in the world. Although at that time their value was barely $41, today those pizzas would be worth at least $1 billion.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bitcoin Pizza Day<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0represents much more than a funny anecdote (although not so much for the buyer). This day represents the first real use case of\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0and how it went from being a digital rarity to becoming a digital means of payment. Since that day, every May 22 this milestone is celebrated with events, marketing campaigns, and discounts.<\/p>\n

For this reason, the fact that it coincided with\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0surpassing\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>\u00a0in market capitalization caused such a stir in the crypto ecosystem. These milestones reinforced the historic nature of that date and how\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0started as a payment for two pizzas, but now leads the tech giant\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Where does it have an impact?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The impact of\u00a0Bitcoin<\/strong>\u00a0surpassing\u00a0Amazon<\/strong>\u00a0was notable and multidimensional, especially in three key aspects:<\/p>\n
