Bitcoin is back in action, surging 3.7% to trade around $84k after nearly a week of losses. However, despite this rebound, a shocking trend is emerging, Bitcoin’s long-term growth rate has hit an all-time low. Meanwhile, the four-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) has dropped to just 8%, marking the first time it has ever fallen below 10%.
In March 2021, Bitcoin was trading near $60,000, close to its peak for that market cycle. Since then, as Bitcoin has grown, its price swings have become less extreme, leading to a natural slowdown in its overall growth rate.
Now, in March 2025, Bitcoin is hovering around $84,000, possibly marking the lowest point of this cycle. This decline isn’t unexpected, as Bitcoin’s market has become more stable compared to previous years when price movements were much wilder.
One reason for this increased stability is the growing presence of institutional investors. The launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has also made investing easier and more regulated, reducing the extreme price swings seen in the past.
Even though Bitcoin’s growth rate has slowed, institutional investors are still making gains. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment, for example, remains 18.9% profitable, despite suffering its worst weekly drop on March 10.
While Bitcoin’s price growth has slowed, its potential as an investment remains strong. Some experts believe Bitcoin is entering a more stable phase, while others see this as a temporary slowdown before another major rally.
Over the past two months, Bitcoin has dropped 22%, falling from over $106,000 to around $82,535. However, a recent 4% daily surge suggests a potential recovery.
Despite the rebound, Bitcoin is struggling near the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a key resistance level that could slow further gains.
If Bitcoin manages to break above this level and build momentum, the next target would be $90,000, a price that previously acted as strong support.
