On this day in 2021, the market cap of the entire Bitcoin network surpassed $1-trillion USD, with BTC trading above $53,000. Bitcoin joined the exclusive club of trillion-dollar assets alongside Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and gold. The milestone came just eight years after hitting $1 billion -- a 1,000x increase driven by institutional adoption, the MicroStrategy playbook, and growing recognition of Bitcoin as a legitimate store of value.
