Only 1.3% of world's money is Bitcoin

Right now, Bitcoin is sitting at around $84K 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.
