Bitcoin’s market value now equals 1.7% of the world’s total money supply, according to August 2025 estimates published by crypto services firm River. The calculation compares Bitcoin’s market capitalization with broad global money stock measures, marking the highest proportion on record for the digital asset. The milestone highlights Bitcoin’s expanding role in global finance even as traditional investors still hold limited exposure. River’s data suggest the cryptocurrency has grown steadily within the overall monetary base, narrowing the gap with conventional fiat assets.
