Bitcoin has surpassed two of the world's biggest listed companies in market capitalization after its price surged last week.

According to CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoin's market cap is now $1.615 trillion, exceeding Elon Musk-led Tesla with a market value of $1.438 trillion and Samsung with a current market value of $1.237 trillion.

This milestone comes after a rebound in Bitcoin's price, which hit a high of $81,914 on Saturday. BTC's market capitalization reached about $1.63 trillion on September 20, 2026, according to CoinGecko historical data.

The Federal Reserve's rate hike and the failure of the Clarity Act were expected to weigh on the crypto market, but Bitcoin bulls defied expectations as the asset rose alongside other risk assets.
