Global Wealth by Asset Class

What the chart shows

Bitcoin is still a small part of the listed asset universe

At the latest values shown here, Bitcoin represents about 0.13% of the combined listed estimate. Its rectangle is intentionally kept proportional, even when that makes it look like a narrow strip next to global real estate or debt.

Market capitalization is not the same as cash invested. It is the latest price multiplied by the relevant supply or stock. That makes this a scale comparison, not a measure of how much money could be withdrawn from every market at once.

Methodology

Live prices, dated reports, and transparent estimates

Bitcoin uses its current CoinGecko market cap. Gold and silver use current spot prices multiplied by above-ground stock estimates. The remaining categories update from annual or quarterly reports and show their source date in the chart.

The figures are not perfectly additive. Debt is a liability to one party and an asset to another, money supply can be held inside other asset categories, and collectible values are less observable than public markets. The displayed total is the sum of the listed estimates, not a claim about global net wealth.

Real estate and global debt are the largest inputs, so revisions to those reports can materially change every displayed share. Select any area in the chart to inspect its source and method.
