What happened to the bitcoin price in 2024
Bitcoin averaged $65,964.11 per coin in 2024, surging 128.6% from the $28,859.47 average of 2023. Annual moves of that size are rare and put 2024 among the most explosive years in the asset's modern history. The defining story of 2024: US spot-ETF approvals (Jan) and fourth halving (6.25 to 3.125 BTC) in April; new highs above $100k late in the year..
The 2020s brought Bitcoin into the institutional era. Pandemic stimulus and corporate treasuries drove the run to a $69,000 high in 2021, the 2022 FTX-era crash followed, and US spot ETFs plus the 2024 halving powered a surge past $100,000.
Adjusted for inflation, bitcoin's 2024 average of $65,964.11 equals about $67,772 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
