Bitcoin is closing out 2025 on its weakest footing in years. The final quarter of the year is now shaping up as the cryptocurrency’s worst Q4 performance since 2018, breaking a long-standing seasonal trend that typically favors bullish momentum. With just one week remaining in the year, Bitcoin is down 22.54% in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to data from Coinglass. The magnitude of the decline places this quarter among the most severe year-end drawdowns in Bitcoin’s trading history. The last time Bitcoin suffered a comparable Q4 collapse was in 2018, when the asset closed the quarter down 42.16%.
