Bitcoin’s 2025 profit is gone

The largest digital currency briefly dropped below $90,000 on Monday, just as crypto investors are panicking. About a month ago, Bitcoin attained a new record high of $126,000, and by now, its annual gain of around 30 percent has evaporated. The broader stock exchanges are clearly opting for safety measures.

Record

At the beginning of the year, Bitcoin rose to $109,000 after Donald Trump was inaugurated, only to fall back down to $74,400 due to the global trade war that the same US president unleashed on Western economies in April.

During the summer, Bitcoin’s price quietly crept higher, reaching a new record high of $120,000 in August.

In early October, that same record was further surpassed, reaching $126,000 – But over the past month, it has gone in one direction and one direction only: lower.

Bitcoin has currently lost all of its 2025 annual gains, and it appears that investors are taking precautions. Since the largest digital currency is still considered a risky investment, pension funds and institutional investors are likely building in a bit more caution ever since the latest “death cross” appeared on the daily chart.

Much depends on the results of chip giant Nvidia, which will be announced after hours on Wednesday.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $91,400.
