The first Bitcoin block, known as the genesis block, was mined on January 3, 2009. However, there was no market or exchange in place at that time, so assigning a specific closing price for that year is not really applicable.

Here’s a look at the approximate annual closing prices of Bitcoin since it started to gain some market value:

* 2010: around $0.30

* 2011: around $4.70

* 2012: around $13.50

* 2013: around $750

* 2014: around $315

* 2015: around $430

* 2016: around $960

* 2017: around $14,150

* 2018: around $3,700

* 2019: around $7,200

* 2020: around $29,000

* 2021: around $47,700

* 2022: around $16,500

* 2023: around $42,200

* 2024: around $42,600

Please note: these are approximate closing prices and may vary slightly depending on the exchange used. Bitcoin prices can be very volatile, so these annual snapshots represent a point in time.

As of today, Friday, May 9, 2025, the price of Bitcoin is around $103,200.
