Method and source eras
Returns use consecutive UTC month-end closes. Early months are a rounded multi-market consensus reference; recent completed months are automatically verified and frozen on UTC day 2 from the official Binance Data Vision BTCUSDT daily archive, with a day-3 safety retry if the archive is delayed. The current month is provisional and historical seasonality is not a forecast.
Frequently asked questions
When does the Bitcoin monthly returns calendar begin?
The table begins with comparable monthly observations in September 2010. Earlier 2010 cells remain empty rather than being filled with 0%.
How is monthly return calculated?
Monthly return equals the current UTC month-end close divided by the prior UTC month-end close, minus one. Annual return compounds the months and the current year is labeled YTD.
Why do early values differ across websites?
Early trading was fragmented and thin, so sources can differ by exchange, timezone and close convention. This page labels early history as a rounded multi-market consensus reference.
When is the previous month updated automatically?
At 02:17 UTC on day 2 of each month, the site reads the official Binance Data Vision BTCUSDT daily archive, verifies SHA-256, and calculates the previous completed calendar month; day 3 is an automatic safety retry if the archive was delayed. The current month stays provisional.
Can seasonality predict next month?
No. Each calendar month has a small sample and market structure changes, so seasonality is historical context rather than a standalone signal.

How to read the Bitcoin Monthly Returns Calendar Since 2010
A heatmap of Bitcoin’s monthly and annual returns from September 2010 to today, for comparing the same month across years and following each year’s sequence. Every cell discloses its data source and whether the current month is still provisional.
How to read the result
- Compare a month’s average with how many years it was positive; a few extreme years can dominate averages.
- Annual figures compound monthly returns, so order matters.
- Provisional current-month values change with every daily close.
Limits and cautions
- Each calendar month has only one observation per year since 2010, so seasonality is not a reliable trading signal.
- Early-year values are rounded multi-market consensus references and may differ from other sources.
- Months without data stay empty instead of being filled with 0%.
