Bitcoin has achieved a new milestone in on-chain metrics, with its realized cap reaching $1 trillion for the first time ever.
According to blockchain data provider Glassnode, 25% of that total, representing around $250 billion, flowed in during 2025 alone.New Record
As Glassnode explained in a July 18 post on X, Realized Cap offers a fundamentally different perspective from the more traditional Market Cap. It values each BTC based on the price it last moved on-chain, tracking the aggregate cost basis of the entire supply. This makes it a powerful indicator of the actual capital stored within the Bitcoin network.
The metric has been growing steadily since 2023, when it was under $400 billion. Its milestones have historicallymarkedpivotal points in BTC’s trajectory, with such events often bringing with them sustained upward momentum and broader market adoption.
For instance, when it crossed the $850 billion threshold in early 2025, nearly $500 billion in new capital flowed into Bitcoin. This event coincided with strong bullish signals, including a price breakout above $87,000 in April, driven primarily by institutional accumulation and whale buying, not retail speculation.
This record-breaking $1 trillion mark is no different. It comes after BTC hit a newall-time high(ATH) beyond $123,000, driven by increased institutional involvement in the asset.
Recently, we have seen exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and major corporations trigger massive inflows into BTC. For example, spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $50 billion in fresh capital in just one year, with BlackRock’s IBIT alonepullingin more than $48 billion since launch.
Corporate adoption is also accelerating, with organizations like Strategy and Metaplanet expanding their BTC holdings. As of mid-2025, over 150 public companies hold the flagship cryptocurrency as a treasury asset, collectively controlling more than 725,000 BTC. This represents a 135% increase from the previous year.Market Outlook
Bitcoin’s price is currently hovering around $119,500, just 3% below its recent ATH. While the last 24 hours showed slight gains of 1.5% at the time of this writing, the asset has demonstrated impressive resilience and steady appreciation across longer timeframes, with its price an 84% improvement over the past year.
The OG crypto has also gained 14% in the last month and added 9.4% over the past two weeks, even though its modest 1.26% uptick across seven days means it has fared poorly compared to the global crypto market’s 6.50% jump in the same period.
