According to @WatcherGuru, eight years ago today Bitcoin (BTC) set a then-all-time high of $15,000, marking a notable round-number milestone in BTC’s price history that traders track for long-term context (source: @WatcherGuru on X, Dec 7, 2025). For additional context, public BTC-USD price history reflects the first sustained break above $15,000 in early December 2017 during the 2017 bull run, situating the $15k level as a historical reference in cycle analysis (source: Yahoo Finance BTC-USD historical data).

According to the source, BTC traded near 320 dollars on November 22, 2015, based on BTC-USD historical data, source: Yahoo Finance. That date came ahead of the second Bitcoin halving on July 9, 2016, which cut block rewards from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC, source: Bitcoin.org. From late 2015 into the next cycle peak, BTC rose from roughly 320 dollars to an all-time high near 19,700 dollars in December 2017, highlighting multi-thousand-percent cycle returns, source: Yahoo Finance.
