Chevron's market cap has ranged $270B-$330B in 2024-2026 with $200B+ in annual revenue and a heavy US upstream concentration (Permian Basin). Bitcoin's market cap ($1T-$2.5T) is 3-9x Chevron. The comparison is the classic 'inflation hedge' framing: hydrocarbons + hard assets both benefit in 1970s-style inflation regimes. Chevron returns ~$15B+ annually to shareholders via buybacks + dividends — Bitcoin returns zero cash to holders but appreciates. The behavioral distinction matters for portfolio construction: CVX is a cash-returning commodity equity; BTC is a pure price-appreciation asset. Correlation near zero on most horizons.
