A Decade of Bitcoin's New Year's Eve Price Journey

Looking back at where Bitcoin stood as each year came to an end tells quite a story. The volatility has been something else—from $755 at the close of 2013 to nearly six figures today.

The early years were rough. By 2014, the price had crashed to $320, a brutal correction from where things started. But recovery came quick. 2015 bounced back to $430, then 2016 saw a real move to $965.

2017 changed everything. That bull run pushed Bitcoin to $14,155 by year-end—a moment that defined a generation of crypto investors. Then 2018 happened. $3,740. A brutal bear market that tested everyone's conviction.

But holders who stuck around got their reward. By 2019 it was $7,195. 2020 exploded to $29,000 as institutions started paying attention. The next year? $49,305. 2022 saw a pullback to $16,595 during the crypto winter.

2023 marked a turning point at $42,560. Last year Bitcoin rocketed to $95,650, nearly hitting six figures. Heading into 2025, we're sitting at $87,580—still significantly higher than just a few years back.

From $755 to $87,580. That's the Bitcoin story in twelve year-end snapshots.
