Frequently Asked Questions

What is "Market Capitalization" and how is it calculated?

Market Capitalization is one way to rank the relative size of the production car market. It's calculated by multiplying the Price by the Supply.

Market Cap = Price * Supply.

How are the prices calculated for the various vehicles?

We provide an estimated Price for each vehicle. Value is derived from auction listings, for sale listings, and in some cases Kelley Blue Book. In some cases, we find an average metric and ride with it. Unlike cryptocurrency, there is no exact science or value behind the numbers of our limited production vehicles. Our research is limited by a moving (variable) price target. Therefore, the numbers and statistics are purely for entertainment purposes only.

What determines the Supply of a vehicle?

Supply refers to the maximum quantity of vehicles produced for a given Year, Make, and/or Model.

What is the CTO and why is it important?

CTO is our internal term used to determine the "Cost to Own" value in Bitcoin (BTC) for any vehicle listed on CarMarketCap.com

For instance, if a Ferrari 250 GTO is priced at $45,000,000 USD, we divide that cost by the current value of Bitcoin (example: $6500), and arrive at 6,923.07692 CTO. Meaning it would cost you 6,923.07692 Bitcoins to purchase this beautiful Ferrari!

What is the criteria for a vehicle to be listed on CarMarketCap?

The criteria for a vehicle to be listed is the following:

  • Must be a limited production vehicle.
  • For market cap ranking, an accurate supply figure is required.

At what time is the 24 hour % change based?

It's based on the current time. It's a rolling 24 hour period.

Why does a dash (-) sometimes show up for the supply and market cap of a listed vehicle?

In order to ensure accurate car market cap rankings, we need to verify supply details. If a dash shows up, it means that we have not sufficiently verified the supply and resulting market cap yet.
