The post Bitcoin’s 4-Year Growth Rate Hits Record Low – BTC Eyeing $90K Mark appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
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%.
Why Has Bitcoin’s Growth Slowed?
Four years ago, in March 2021, Bitcoin was trading near $60,000, close to its highest point in that market cycle. Since then, as Bitcoin has grown, its price swings and returns have become smaller, leading to a natural slowdown in its growth rate.
Now, in March 2025, Bitcoin is hovering around $84k, which could be the lowest point of this cycle. This decline isn’t surprising, as Bitcoin’s market is becoming more stable compared to previous years when price swings were extreme.
One reason for this stability is the growing involvement of institutional investors. The launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has also made it easier and more regulated for people to invest, reducing some of the wild price movements seen in the past.
Institutional Investments Seeing Massive Return
Despite the slowdown in Bitcoin’s growth rate, institutional investors are still seeing profits. Microstrategy’s Bitcoin investment, for example, remains 18.9% profitable, even after experiencing its worst weekly drop on March 10.
This shows that while Bitcoin’s price growth may have slowed, it still holds strong potential as an investment. Some experts believe that Bitcoin is entering a phase of stability, while others see it as a temporary pause before another big rally.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
Bitcoin has seen a sharp decline of 22% over the past two months, dropping from over $106,000 to around $82,535. However, it has recently shown signs of recovery, rising by 4% in a single day.
Despite this bounce, Bitcoin faces resistance near the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which could slow down further gains.
If Bitcoin manages to break above this level and gain momentum, the next key target would be $90,000, as this was a strong support level in the past.
