🚨Bitcoin price history🚨
Since launching in 2009, Bitcoin’s journey has been anything but smooth. In the early days, software developer and early believer Laszlo Hanyecz famously spent 10,000 Bitcoins on a couple of pizzas; at the time of this writing, those coins would be worth more than $668 million.
Over roughly the last decade, Bitcoin’s price has soared by more than 15,000%. That upside has come with serious risk, as cryptocurrencies tend to be highly unpredictable. Bitcoin has experienced steep drops, at times losing tens of thousands of dollars in value within a few months, but it has also staged similarly dramatic rallies. In 2025, it ended the calendar year about 30% below the all-time high it hit in October of that same year.
