Only 1.3% of world's money is #Bitcoin
Right now, #Bitcoin is sitting at around $85K with a market cap of ~$1.3 trillion — which is just 1.3% of the world's estimated $100 trillion M2 money supply. That number feels tiny when you realize how much buzz #Bitcoin generates daily.
But let’s entertain a scenario — what happens if #Bitcoin grows to represent just 5% of global money?
That would mean a market cap of $5 trillion.
Simple math: $5T / 19.7M BTC = ~$253,807 per BTC
That’s roughly a 3x increase from today’s price.
Now think about the implications:
Mainstream Adoption: Governments, banks, and institutions would have to hold #Bitcoin. It could become a reserve asset alongside gold.
Reduced Volatility: With more liquidity and adoption, #Bitcoin’s wild swings could stabilize.
Policy Disruption: Central banks might lose some grip on monetary control. We’d probably see stronger regulations and faster rollouts of CBDCs.
Psychological Shift: For many, it would mark a turning point — from "speculative asset" to "legitimate money."
We’re not talking about Bitcoin replacing fiat or hitting 100% of world money — just 5%. And even that would be a monumental shift in the financial landscape.
