Bitcoin hit 1$

11 years ago today, Bitcoin reached $1

On the 9th of February 2nd, 2011, eleven years ago today, the price of bitcoin (BTC) reached a market value of exactly $1, a little over two years after the first Bitcoin blockchain block was created in early 2009.

This day 11 years ago, bitcoin reached parity with the U.S. dollar. Those who were fortunate, or clever, enough to buy bitcoin at $1, and managed to HODL on to it, have made a handsome profit since.
