Historical January Performance
An analysis of historical data reveals a varied trend for Bitcoin during the month of January.
-Early Volatility (Pre-2013): In the very early years, price movements were extreme. For example, at the start of 2011, a single Bitcoin could be purchased for as little as $0.30.
-Mixed Performance (2014-2022): This period included both gains and significant declines. 2014 saw an early bull run in January before the price ended the year lower than it started. The price declined significantly in January 2018 during the crypto winter. In January 2022, Bitcoin experienced a -16.7% drop amid a macro selloff and rising interest rates.
-Recent Gains (2023-2025): The trend shifted recently. January 2023 saw a massive +39.8% gain as the market recovered from the 2022 bear market. January 2024 recorded a +7.2% increase driven by pre-halving momentum. In January 2025, Bitcoin continued to reach new highs, with a monthly gain of over 9%.
