Bitcoin has lost nearly half its value since reaching an all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025. The sharp market correction has wiped approximately $62.64 billion from the holdings of the cryptocurrency’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Analysts suggest a sustained recovery for the crypto market is unlikely until the global economic climate improves, with one forecast predicting a brief rebound for Bitcoin in early 2026 followed by another correction.
The price of Bitcoin has fallen by almost 50% since hitting a record high in October 2025. Data from Arkham indicates the wallet attributed to founder Satoshi Nakamoto has lost approximately $62.64 billion in value since the asset’s peak.
Nakamoto is the most famous figure in crypto history, yet their true identity remains entirely unknown. The wallet, which holds roughly 1.1 million BTC, has never been moved since its creation.
Bitcoin’s price decline began soon after its October peak, driven by macroeconomic worries and geopolitical tensions. A liquidity crunch and risk-averse investor behavior have led to significant outflows from the cryptocurrency market.
Market recovery is generally tied to an improvement in the broader global economic picture. According to CoinCodex analysts, Bitcoin (BTC) could turn green over the coming weeks, potentially reaching $77,392 by March 6, 2026.
The same analysts do not expect Bitcoin to maintain that price level for long. Their prediction suggests a correction back to around $67,000 could occur by late May 2026.
