Bitcoin price, 2017 to 2026

The US dollar price of Bitcoin at monthly close, on a logarithmic scale, from Twelve Data. · updated Jul 2026

About this statistic

Bitcoin price stood at $65,915 in 2026, up 12.4% on the previous period.

The US dollar price of Bitcoin at monthly close, from Twelve Data's BTC/USD reference series. Bitcoin trades continuously across many venues, so there is no closing bell: the monthly close is the reference price at the end of the month, drawn from a composite of trading venues rather than any single exchange. The series starts in September 2014.

The chart uses a logarithmic scale because the price spans three orders of magnitude, from $217 at the start of 2015 to a peak of $115,758 in July 2025. On a linear axis the early cycles would flatten into a line along the floor; on a log axis equal vertical moves are equal percentage moves, so the boom-and-bust cycles stay comparable across a thousandfold price range. The latest monthly close is $62,696, roughly half the 2025 peak.

Frequently asked questions

Why a logarithmic scale?

The series runs from $217 to $115,758. On a linear axis the early years would be unreadable; the log axis makes equal percentage moves the same size, which is how traders compare cycles.

Which exchange sets this price?

None individually. The series is a reference price composited across trading venues by our market data provider, which is standard practice for an asset that trades on many exchanges at once.

Why monthly instead of daily?

This library statistic tracks the monthly close so a decade of cycles stays readable on one chart. Daily series for BTC/USD and other pairs are available through the markets source in the editor.
