Bitcoin (BTC), the world's leading digital asset, has a not-so-publicized record in the crypto and traditional finance ecosystem. This Bitcoin achievement is further complemented by the soaring price of the coin.

Meta Platforms follows behind Bitcoin, which hit the $1 trillion milestone 17 years after launching. Next on the list is Elon Musk's Tesla, followed by Alphabet, which hit $1 trillion in 18 and 22 years, respectively. Saudi Aramco, a long-standing petroleum and natural gas company, marked 10th place as it hit $1 trillion in 86 years.
Intriguingly, the leading cryptocurrency recorded the highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) at 176.54%. CAGR measures an investment's annual growth rate over time, with the effect of compounding taken into account. Therefore, Bitcoin's latest CAGR means investors have received a 176.54% gain on their investments in the past year. This is a huge achievement for Bitcoin, as prominent firms like Microsoft recorded a CAGR of 31.97%.
Bitcoin's performance among these reputable global companies highlights its growing adoption among traders and investors. In the pastreported week, Bitcoin's price has increased by 19.7%, fueling positive sentiment from investors.
