CZ: Bitcoin's Market Cap Could Surpass Gold in the Next Bull Run During a fireside chat at Bitcoin Asia on August 28, 2026, Binance founder CZ @cz_binance stated that if Bitcoin gradually becomes a strategic reserve asset for nations, its eventual significance could very likely surpass that of gold. The real resistance right now isn’t the asset itself but the fact that countries have already established mature systems for valuing, custodying, and reserving gold. For major nations, making this switch usually takes many years. He believes Bitcoin holds stronger long-term advantages compared to gold. The only scenario that could prevent Bitcoin from overtaking gold is a low-probability event: the emergence of a stronger, faster-growing digital asset that replaces it before it surpasses gold. However, as of now, this possibility seems unlikely. Source: Bitcoin Magazine
