What is Bitcoin's All-Time High Price?
Last updated: 21 April 2026 · NavScope Intelligence
Bitcoin has set multiple all-time highs since its creation in 2009:
| Date | ATH Price | Event |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 2011 | $1 | First exchange parity |
| Nov 2013 | $1,242 | First major bull run |
| Dec 2017 | $19,783 | ICO boom |
| Nov 2021 | $68,789 | Institutional adoption |
| Mar 2024 | $73,794 | Bitcoin ETF approval |
| Jan 2025 | ~$109,000 | Post-halving cycle peak |
The 2025 ATH was driven by the approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US (January 2024, first trading January 2024), the April 2024 halving reducing miner rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, and increased institutional allocation.
