This chart is to examine how public company market capitalization is distributed by country or region.

Data Source: Market capitalization figures are from MarketCapWatch, as of August 26, 2025. Each company’s market value is attributed to the country or region of its headquarters location, not the stock exchange where it is listed. For example, a company headquartered in China but listed in the United States is counted under China’s total.

Methodology: We aggregated the market cap of all publicly listed companies worldwide, grouped them by country/region of domicile, and calculated their share of the global total. This approach helps reveal where corporate value is actually based, avoiding distortions from cross‑border listings.

Visual Assets: Country flags and map outlines are sourced from Wikimedia Commons.

Tools: Data processing and calculations were done in Microsoft Excel, with the final visualization built and refined using Infogram.

  2. The USA is way overvalued, and there’ll be a reckoning relatively soon.

    It’s just not sustainable.

    I actually think that Trump is hastening that revision of value.

    Not something that most want to hear.

  3. How much is the US’s market capitalization going to plummet when the big crash happens?

    Also, when is it going to happen? Can someone let me know?

  4. This is one the main reasons every time US market crashes it becomes a catalyst for a worldwide crisis.

  5. So why is Taiwan included into China? That’s ridiculous

  6. 67T is roughly 2M per American citizen? Yet all we hear is how more than half the country is barely making ends meet. How people turned to actively embrace racism to overcome this is beyond me.

    Edit: 200k, added a zero.

  7. Next time cut the top and bottom headers to fit Reddit post fully without having to lick

  8. The entire US economy is held up by printed money funneled through the department of defense.

  9. I’m surprised that Canada is ahead of Germany and France. We have some decent-size banks, but not as big as German and French ones. Other than that, it’s mining companies, domestic companies like CPKC/CN/BCE/TELUS, and then there’s Shopify. 

  10. A lot of trash was IPO’d into hong kong these past 5 years and basically robbed the people blind because they couldnt pass regulators in other countries. Wonder why…?

  11. It would be very interesting to add the total revenue of the companies as well then it would be easy to see which country is over or under valued.

  13. For comparison, Nvidia alone would take the 5th spot just above the UK at 4.44T

  14. Lmao Taiwan is excluded in parenthesis but included in the map

  15. India is wrong it has 1.5B people yet I don’t know a single company from there
