Bitcoin Traded 21.5% Below Its 2025 Close on Nov. 13

Bitcoin (BTC) remained at risk of its first pair of consecutive calendar-year losses in nearly 18 years on Nov. 13.

At 11:29 a.m. ET (16:29 UTC) Nov. 13, Bitcoin was near $68,697, about 21.5% below its roughly $87,500 close in 2025.

Bitcoin fell about 6.3% in 2025 and closed near $87,500. To avoid a second annual loss, BTC would need to finish 2026 at or above roughly that level. The year’s result will be determined by its price at the end of December.

Bitcoin gained about 92% in 2019 after declining in 2018. It rose roughly 155% in 2023 after its 2022 loss.

Economist Peter Schiff cited a 16.5% year-to-date decline on Nov. 10 in his warning that Bitcoin could post back-to-back annual losses. The 2026 calendar-year result remains unresolved until the year-end close.
