$BTC Bitcoin's price trend has fluctuated dramatically since its inception, experiencing several distinct phases:
- Early slow development phase (2009-2012): Bitcoin was almost worthless when it was created in 2009. The first transaction record in 2010 showed a price of less than 1 cent. It first reached $1 in 2011, followed by the first significant fluctuation, peaking at about $30 before falling back.
- First bull market and adjustment period (2013-2016): In 2013, the price of Bitcoin soared from just over ten dollars at the beginning of the year to nearly $1,200 by the end of the year. In the following years, it entered a period of adjustment, with prices falling back to $200-300. By the end of 2016, it gradually recovered to around $1,000.
- Outbreak and correction period (2017-2019): Bitcoin ushered in a large-scale bull market in 2017, with prices rising from less than $1,000 at the beginning of the year to breaking $20,000 before the end of the year. In 2018, it entered a bear market, with prices falling to about $3,000.
- Mature fluctuation period (2020 to present): In 2020, affected by the epidemic, Bitcoin's "digital gold" attribute was recognized, and the price rose rapidly. In 2021, it reached a record high of $68,991. After that, although there was a correction, it remained at a relatively high level overall. In 2024, the price performance was strong, once rising to $68,059.6, and broke the $90,000 mark in November. In 2025, the price of Bitcoin rose amid fluctuations, breaking $110,000 on May 22, reaching a peak of $110,830 per coin. In June, the price fluctuated sharply due to the situation in the Middle East, once falling below $100,000. As of July 6, the price was $108,090.80, up 0.42% from the previous day.
