Bitcoin’s price history shows four instances of year-over-year declines on July 4, interrupting its general uptrend. These decreases occurred during broader market corrections and periods of distress for the digital asset industry.
| 2025 | $109,433 |
| 2024 | $58,659 |
| 2023 | $31,051 |
| 2022 | $19,750 |
| 2021 | $34,973 |
| 2020 | $9,084 |
| 2019 | $11,764 |
| 2018 | $6,579 |
| 2017 | $2,598 |
| 2016 | $670 |
| 2015 | $257 |
| 2014 | $637 |
| 2013 | $77 |
| 2012 | $7 |
| 2011 | $15 |
| 2010 | $0.01 |
| 2009 | $0 |
The most recent drop was in 2022, when the price fell to $19,750, a sharp contrast to the $34,973 level seen one year prior. The downturn coincided with a widespread crypto winter, marked by the collapse of several large industry firms and tightening macroeconomic conditions.
Similarly, the price on July 4, 2020, was $9,084, down from $11,764 on the same date in 2019, reflecting a market correction after a mid-2019 rally.
Earlier bear cycles also resulted in lower prices. A prolonged downturn following the failure of the Mt. Gox exchange contributed to the price falling from $637 in 2014 to $257 in 2015.
The first recorded year-over-year decline in the asset’s history occurred in 2012, when the price was $7, down from $15 in 2011.
These four declines stand as exceptions in Bitcoin’s 14-year pricing record for the date, which otherwise shows a strong pattern of long-term appreciation.
In the other ten years, the asset posted gains, including the rise from $58,659 in 2024 to $109,433 in 2025.
