Bitcoin CAGR and returns
How much bitcoin grew on average per year, and how every year and every month turned out.
Bitcoin CAGR
The compound annual growth rate: the average yearly return of someone who bought 4, 5 or 10 years earlier, or at the first close, and held. Choose the period; the line shows it for every day, the price runs alongside.
- CAGR (left scale)
- Price in USD (right scale)
CAGR = (price ÷ price at the start)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, from the daily closes. All-time starts at the first close on 18 Jul 2010 and is drawn from 2 years after it. Both scales are logarithmic, so the steep early years and today's rates both stay readable.
Returns
Bitcoin's return in each calendar year, from the last close of the year before to the year's last close; the current year up to today's price. Green for a gain, red for a loss.
