What is the Current Realized Price of Bitcoin?

The Realized Price is the value of all Bitcoins at the time they were most recently moved (purchased). This statistic is derived by taking into account the total supply of Bitcoins that are now in circulation. On-chain analysis considers this value.

A measure of the worth of these coins is proportional to the coin’s “average cost basis,” which is not the same as the prevailing price of Bitcoin on the market. However, the average premium basis of the coin is a representation of its value. At the time of this writing, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) was trading near $21,330; however, its realized price was closer to $21,700.

Throughout the years, the price of bitcoin has fallen to a level lower than its realized price on several occasions, with the most recent four instances occurring in December 2018, March 2020, and in 2022 – June/July and now August.

Historically, cycle lows have been recognized when the price of bitcoin falls below its realized value. This has been followed by a rebound to the upside, which has occasionally resulted in new all-time highs being attained. However, the length of time that the price remains lower than the metric is measured differently.
