Bitcoin will celebrate its 17th anniversary on Jan. 3, 2026, marking 17 years since Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first block on Jan. 3, 2009. The milestone comes after a year of sharp moves in crypto markets and a notable correction after October highs.
In 2025, the market surged early in the year following increased investor confidence tied to President Trump assuming office. Bitcoin then reached an all-time high of $126,080 on Oct. 6 before the market experienced a large correction described as the most significant liquidation event in history.
According to CoinGecko’s BTC data, recent price action shows small gains: roughly 1.1% in the past 24 hours, 1.1% over seven days, 1.2% on 14-day charts, and 2.2% over the prior month. These figures indicate short-term positive movement following the October decline.
Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $90,000 level on Dec. 29 but has since struggled to hold that price. The article noted that BTC “is struggling to hold the $90,000 mark, and may make another attempt to breach it over the next few days.” Market commentators also described the market as fragile and cited ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.
