Bitcoin's price journey, 2013 to today
Bitcoin's history is a series of dramatic booms and brutal crashes. Understanding it explains both why early investors saw enormous returns and why Bitcoin remains one of the most volatile assets in the world. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, and roughly every four years a "halving" cuts the rate of new supply, an event historically associated with major bull runs.
- 2013Bitcoin began the year near $13 and ended it above $800 after its first mainstream surge past $1,000.
- 2015After the Mt. Gox collapse, BTC bottomed around $200 to $300, a quiet accumulation phase before the next cycle.
- 2016The second halving (July 2016) cut block rewards from 25 to 12.5 BTC, setting up the 2017 bull run.
- 2017The famous bull market took Bitcoin from under $1,000 to nearly $20,000 by December, driven by retail mania and ICOs.
- 2018The bubble burst: BTC fell roughly 80% to around $3,200 by year end.
- 2020The third halving (May 2020) plus pandemic-era stimulus and institutional interest reignited demand.
- 2021Bitcoin hit a then all-time high near $69,000 in November amid the NFT and institutional wave.
- 2022A harsh bear market, worsened by the collapse of Terra and FTX, dragged BTC back near $16,000.
- 2024US spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January and the fourth halving occurred in April, fueling a new cycle.
- 2025Bitcoin crossed $100,000 for the first time and set fresh all-time highs amid strong institutional inflows.
