$BTC October 31, 2008, was introduced by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, who published the Bitcoin white paper on October 31, 2008. The Bitcoin network officially launched on January 3, 2009, with the mining of the genesis block. Initially worth virtually nothing, Bitcoin began trading in 2010 at a few cents per coin.
Over the years, Bitcoin's price experienced dramatic fluctuations. It reached $1 in early 2011, surged to $1,000 by late 2013, and hit nearly $20,000 in December 2017. A major breakthrough came in November 2021, when Bitcoin reached a then-record high of around $69,000. The momentum continued, and by May 2025, it touched a new all-time high near $112,000.
