#Bitcoin buyers are averaging a 40% profit.#

According to CoinDesk, the average buy-in price for Bitcoin buyers in 2024 was $65,901. As the market price closed around $93,000 on December 31, 2024, buyers from 2024 realized an average unrealized profit of about 40%. This metric is known as the "realized price," which reflects the average value of all Bitcoins, calculated based on the price at which the coins last moved on-chain. Monitoring the realized price is crucial for understanding the overall profit and loss and cost basis of individual participants. When the Bitcoin price falls below the average buy-in price from a previous period, it often signals a local price bottom. This happened once after the ETF launch in January 2024 and several times in the middle of the year. Monitoring the average cost of the group is a profitable trading strategy. Entering 2025, the average cost of Bitcoin is around $95,500, with buyers realizing a small profit at the beginning of the year. As of press time, Bitcoin is trading around $96,000.
