Bitcoin traded for under a dollar in 2010, first crossed $1,000 in 2013, and reached nearly $20,000 in the retail mania of December 2017. The next cycle peaked at $69,000 in November 2021 before the 2022 collapse — culminating in the FTX exchange failure — dragged it back near $15,500.
The approval of US spot ETFs in January 2024 marked a structural shift, opening bitcoin to mainstream brokerage accounts; the price crossed $100,000 for the first time in December 2024 and set further records above $120,000 in 2025. Each cycle so far has carried both the peaks and the troughs higher — with drawdowns of 70–80% along the way.
The table above summarises how the Bitcoin price has moved over each window using open, high, and low values, with the percentage change from the start of the period to now. Short windows reflect recent volatility, while the 1-year and 5-year rows show the longer-term trend. Historical performance is descriptive, not predictive — it summarises the past rather than forecasting the future.
