Bitcoin wrapped up 2025 in the red. What's interesting is that BTC has never experienced back-to-back losing years throughout its entire history. Looking at the pattern: whenever Bitcoin closes a year down, the following year has averaged gains of around 95%. So what does 2026 hold? The numbers speak for themselves—if history rhymes, next year could shape up quite differently. Those familiar with Bitcoin's long-term cycles already know what's potentially brewing.
