I just reviewed the February data, and honestly, it was a quite challenging month for Bitcoin. The profitability dropped to -14.94%, making it the third worst monthly performance since 2013. Well below the historical February average of around 11.11%.
What's interesting is that Ethereum performed even worse, ending February with -19.81%. It is also the third worst since records began in 2017. Considering that the historical February average for ETH is 8.53%, this month was definitely an exception.
When you look at these numbers, you see how atypical February 2026 was for both assets. Both fell significantly, while their historical February averages have always been positive. Definitely one of those months to remember in the history books of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices.
