Ford's market cap has ranged $35B-$55B in 2024-2026 through the EV transition, UAW strikes, and warranty-cost overhangs. Bitcoin's market cap ($1T-$2.5T) is 20-70x Ford. The comparison is stark: Ford is a 120-year-old American industrial institution producing ~4M vehicles annually with $150B+ in revenue. Bitcoin is a 16-year-old digital asset with no revenue. Yet Bitcoin's market cap is 20-70x Ford's. The framing is useful for thinking about how capital has repriced 'industrial' exposure vs 'digital scarce asset' exposure over the past decade. Ford has generated ~zero equity returns for long-term holders while BTC has compounded materially. Correlation near zero.
