The Bitcoin Returns by Year dashboard calculates annual returns by measuring the percentage change in Bitcoin's price from the last trading day of each calendar year. This method ensures that the returns reflect the most accurate year-end valuation for BTC.
Monthly returns in the Bitcoin Returns by Year dashboard are computed similarly to annual returns, using the percentage change in Bitcoin's price based on month-end observations. If data is missing for a specific month, the dashboard utilizes the closest available dates to ensure accuracy.
No, the returns displayed in the Bitcoin Returns by Year dashboard are presented in nominal terms, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation. This allows investors to see the raw performance of Bitcoin over different time periods without the impact of inflation.
This dashboard calculates Bitcoin annual and monthly returns using daily BTC price data. Annual returns are computed as the percentage change between the last trading day (or last available day) of each calendar year. Monthly returns are computed the same way for each month, using month-end observations. When data is missing for a period, returns use the closest available dates. Results are shown in nominal terms (not inflation-adjusted).
