Bitcoin was the first digital currency and remains the most valuable. Founded in 2009 by unknown persons or a person named Satoshi Nakamoto, its trading history has been volatile and revolutionary.
The cryptocurrency’s value significantly changed in July 2011 when the value of a single bitcoin escalated from $0.0009 to $15.40.
In 2013, Forbes named Bitcoin the best investment of the year. Bitcoin began trading at $13 in the year, crossed $100 in April, and recorded a high of $1,242 by November.
The digital currency surged in 2017, beginning at $13, crossing $100 by April, then skyrocketing to $19,783.21 in December.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, while central banks were printing money, Bitcoin—with its fixed supply of 21 million coins—jumped from $7,161 to $28,993 by December.
In October 2021, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $66,975
2022 saw bitcoin’s price decline; by year’s end, it was below $20,000.
The currency opened in 2023 for $16,530, ending the year at $42,258.
In January 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which hold Bitcoins in a secure digital vault managed by registered custodians. The price of these EFTs mirrors that of Bitcoins in the crypto market.
