Bitcoin makes history with its first price-gaining August in a bearish market
- Bitcoin closed August 2026 up nearly 25%, marking the first August of gains in a bearish market, in contrast to declines in the years following previous peak highs.
- The cryptocurrency started the month slightly above $60,000, hit a high above $81,000, and ended at around $78,600, while recording a gain of nearly 33% in Q3.
- Despite recent geopolitical tensions pushing Bitcoin below $77,000, its market capitalization share has risen to above 58%; however, the coin is still down nearly 29% year-to-date and down more than 38% from the all-time high reached in October 2025.
