I was looking at the historical Bitcoin price data at the end of the year and found it quite interesting to see how BTC behaves during the holiday season. On Christmas 2024, the price reached $98,200, but what really catches the eye is comparing it to previous years.
In 2025, the Bitcoin price recorded $88,000 on Christmas, and if you go back to 2015, the price was only $456. In other words, over ten years, the price has increased 192 times. I mean, it's kind of crazy to think about that. In the intermediate years, we had $24,665 in 2020 and $50,430 in 2021 — you can already see the volatility of that period.
It's interesting to note how December 31 of each year marks these different historical points in Bitcoin price. Each cycle brings a completely different level, depending on what was happening in the market at that time.
