Historically, block reward halving caused large price movements in Bitcoin the year before and after. Bitcoin’s price has risen dramatically during the last three years. Bitcoin is expected to hit $100,000 by the end of 2024 if current trends continue.
The newest crypto bull market began in 2022/23, and Bitcoin recently reached all-time highs, but this is clearly not the end. Bitcoin is emerging as an excellent asset class for capital to pursue in today’s global inflationary environment, thanks to improved regulatory clarity, advanced traditional investment products, and an influx of more traditional funds.
This article is based on a review and analysis of data from the crypto bull market over the past year, and it discusses the insights and predictions of the market.

The RockFlow investment research team predicts that in the current bull market, the leading companies representing the three directions of crypto trading, Bitcoin asset management, and Bitcoin mining—Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and Marathon Digital will perform Bitcoin itself. They will provide more resilience, a better risk-benefit ratio, and higher rates of return.
The first Bitcoin halving happened on November 28, 2012, at a price of $12. Bitcoin was trading at $3 a year before the halving, which meant it had increased by 300%. This strong increase tendency persists a year after the halving. Bitcoin’s price was $1016 on November 28, 2013, which implies it has increased by 8367% since the halving and since the year before 33767%.
The same tendency may be seen in the second halving, which occurred on July 9, 2016. On that day, Bitcoin was trading at $647, up from $268 on July 9, 2015, indicating a 141% increase during the half. Bitcoin’s price has risen significantly after the halving, reaching $2,491 on July 9, 2017, one year later.
A similar increasing tendency was shown in the third halving, which occurred on May 11, 2020. At the time, the price of Bitcoin was $8,563, which was more than 18% from $7,232 a year ago. Bitcoin’s price has continued to rise in 2021, reaching over $56,000 on May 11, 2021, up 561% since the halving.
Will this pattern continue with the next fourth Bitcoin halving? Probably. Bitcoin’s price was over $29,000 on April 19, 2023, and it had risen to almost $66,000 by early March 2024, representing a more than 127% growth. According to recent trends, Bitcoin will most definitely reach $100,000 by the end of 2024.
Currently, bitcoin-based investments worldwide the total value of assets under management across products (futures and spot ETFs, for example) has exceeded 1 million Bitcoins (roughly $64 billion), demonstrating the growing interest in crypto portfolios in traditional financial markets.
According to K33 Research, US spot and futures ETFs own more than 83% of the 1 million Bitcoins, followed by investments in European and Canadian goods. As of the close of trading on March 4, they held a total of 1,008,436 Bitcoins, accounting for 5.13% of the circulating supply.
Since the introduction of Bitcoin values have risen by 40% in less than two months. The RockFlow investment research team expects that the price of Bitcoin will continue to grow this year, emphasizing the approaching halving event in April and the event’s past volatility, which has driven up the price.
