Much Wow! Dogecoin Is Now Larger Than Ford, Adidas, Lululemon, Roblox: 15 Companies Worth Less Than Meme Crypto

Meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin DOGE/USD is soaring in price and valuation, up more than 80% in the past week and setting new 52-week highs.

With the latest push in valuation, Dogecoin passed the valuation of some well-known global companies.

What Happened: Dogecoin was created in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, meant as a joke and as a satirical coin to mock Bitcoin BTC/USD.

While Dogecoin trails Bitcoin in value at $47.7 billion to $1.72 trillion based on current market capitalizations, the accomplishments of increasing that much in value are no laughing matter.

With its current market capitalization of $47.7 billion at the time of writing, Dogecoin would rank as the 428^th largest company in the world, according to companiesmarketcap.com.

Here is a look at some well-known companies that are worth less than Dogecoin is Monday:

• Occidental Petroleum OXY: $47.6 billion
• Volkwagen VWAGY: $46.3 billion
• Nasdaq NDAQ: $45.7 billion
• Keurig Dr Pepper KDP: $44.9 billion
• Ford Motor Company F: $44.7 billion
• Heineken HEINY: $44.1 billion

• Lululemon Athletica LULU: $39.1 billion
• Yum! Brands YUM: $38.2 billion
• 7-Eleven: $37.3 billion
