Bitcoin is up +55% over the past year and within $900 of its all-time high. The 2024 halving cycle continues to play out — historically, peaks have come 12–18 months post-halving (April 2024 + 18 months ≈ October 2025; the cycle may be extending).

OpenAbout the Bitcoin Price
Bitcoin (BTC) is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and the most-watched price in the digital asset space. This tracker shows the spot price in U.S. dollars, sourced from CoinGecko's aggregated exchange feed. Bitcoin's total supply is mathematically capped at 21 million coins, with roughly 19.8 million currently in circulation. New supply is "mined" via proof-of-work computation, with the issuance rate halving every four years — the most recent halving was April 2024.
What drives the price
Bitcoin has no cash flow, no central authority, and limited industrial use — its price is determined entirely by what someone else will pay. The major demand drivers in this cycle are spot Bitcoin ETFs (approved January 2024, now holding ~1.2M BTC across BlackRock IBIT, Fidelity FBTC, and competitors), institutional treasury buying (MicroStrategy, Tesla, Block), and halving-driven supply tightening. The price has historically tended to peak 12–18 months after each halving — that places the next potential cycle peak around mid-to-late 2026.
Reading this chart
Use the long view chart in log scale to appreciate the trajectory: Bitcoin traded under $1 in 2011 and crossed $1,000 in late 2013. A $100 investment at the 2011 low would be worth roughly $30 million today — though virtually no one held continuously through the multiple 70–90% drawdowns. The asset has had four major bear markets (>75% drawdowns) and four bull markets to new highs. Volatility is unlike any traditional asset class — 10% daily moves are unremarkable. Today's $108,450 sits within striking distance of the $109,350 all-time high set three days ago.

Frequently asked
What this number means, and what it doesn't.
Bitcoin trades on dozens of independent exchanges (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.) with no central order book. Small price differences (typically 0.1–0.5%) reflect local supply/demand. Aggregators like CoinGecko compute a volume-weighted average across major venues, which is what this tracker shows.
Roughly every four years, the reward Bitcoin miners receive for adding a block is cut in half. This reduces new supply issuance from 6.25 BTC/block to 3.125 BTC/block (April 2024 halving). With fixed supply (21M max) and steady or rising demand, halvings have historically preceded bull markets. Whether this 'four-year cycle' repeats indefinitely is unknown.
The protocol caps total supply at 21 million BTC. About 19.8 million is currently circulating. The last Bitcoin is projected to be mined around the year 2140. Roughly 3–4 million coins are estimated to be permanently lost (lost private keys, dead owners, sent to provably unspendable addresses).
We can\'t give investment advice. The historical case: extraordinary returns paired with extraordinary volatility. The skeptic\'s case: no cash flow, no intrinsic value, energy-intensive, regulatory risk. The pragmatic case from most financial planners is a small allocation (1–5% of portfolio) if at all, sized so that a complete loss wouldn\'t materially change your financial life.
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency (launched 2009) with the largest market cap, longest history, and strongest network security. "Altcoins" (alternative coins) include Ethereum, Solana, and 10,000+ smaller projects. Most have far higher technical risk, less developed networks, and historically worse risk-adjusted returns than Bitcoin.
