Track ZEC closing the gap on Bitcoin day by day, and model what your ZEC will be worth as the chase keeps going.
Every Bitcoin transaction is public, forever. AI surveillance now reads the whole chain. Encrypted Zcash is the solution for sovereign privacy, and the market is waking up to it.

At today's Bitcoin price. Use the slider above to model other Bitcoin prices.
Each square is one Zcash-sized market cap. It takes about 143 of them to equal Bitcoin — Zcash is the single (private, digital) gold square (top-left). Every blank square is room left to run.
Dotted line extends the average pace since Sep 2025. The dashed level is the next milestone — it advances automatically when crossed, and conquered milestones stay marked.
This page tracks the Zcash vs Bitcoin market cap ratio — ZEC's market value as a percentage of BTC's — updated continuously from live market data. It shows where Zcash stands today, how the gap has changed since 2018, and what the ZEC price would be if Zcash captured 5% or 10% of Bitcoin's market value.
Use the slider to model any Bitcoin price, and enter your own holdings to see what your ZEC would be worth in each scenario. Everything on this page recalculates automatically as ZEC and BTC prices move.
Zcash is often described as encrypted Bitcoin. It shares Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply and halving schedule, but adds zero-knowledge encryption so transactions can be fully private. Bitcoin's ledger is public forever, and modern blockchain surveillance — increasingly AI-driven — can read all of it. Zcash's shielded transactions cannot be read.
That makes the ZEC/BTC ratio a clean way to measure one question: how much does the market value financial privacy? When Zcash gains ground on Bitcoin, the privacy thesis is being repriced upward. When it gives ground back, it isn't. This page keeps that score daily.
The 5% and 10% scenarios hold ZEC's share of Bitcoin's market value fixed and solve for the implied Zcash price: take Bitcoin's market cap at your chosen BTC price, apply the percentage, and divide by ZEC's circulating supply. The milestone ladder applies the same maths to today's live Bitcoin market cap.
The projection on the historical chart extends the average pace of the ratio's change — a linear extrapolation, clearly marked. These are relative-valuation scenarios, not price predictions, and nothing on this page is financial advice.
It is Zcash's market capitalisation divided by Bitcoin's, shown as a percentage. The live figure at the top of this page updates automatically as both markets move.
It depends on the Bitcoin price you assume — the payoff tiles above show the implied ZEC price at 5% and 10% for any Bitcoin price you set on the slider, alongside the multiple versus today's price.
Neither. It is an editorial milestone for exploring relative valuation — "if ZEC reached this share" — not a target anyone has committed to or a forecast that it will happen.
