The four times Bitcoin price fell by Independence Day each year
2025/07/04 03:49Bitcoin’s price history shows four instances of year-over-year declines on July 4, interrupting its general uptrend. These decreases occurred during broader market corrections and periods of distress for the digital asset industry.
The most recent drop was in 2022, when the price fell to $19,750, a sharp contrast to the $34,973 level seen one year prior. The downturn coincided with a widespread crypto winter, marked by the collapse of several large industry firms and tightening macroeconomic conditions.
Similarly, the price on July 4, 2020, was $9,084, down from $11,764 on the same date in 2019, reflecting a market correction after a mid-2019 rally.
Earlier bear cycles also resulted in lower prices. A prolonged downturn following the failure of the Mt. Gox exchange contributed to the price falling from $637 in 2014 to $257 in 2015.
The first recorded year-over-year decline in the asset’s history occurred in 2012, when the price was $7, down from $15 in 2011.

| 2012 | $7 |

These four declines stand as exceptions in Bitcoin’s 14-year pricing record for the date, which otherwise shows a strong pattern of long-term appreciation.
In the other ten years, the asset posted gains, including the rise from $58,659 in 2024 to $109,433 in 2025.
