The Claim

As of April 12, 2026, the price of Bitcoin has never exceeded $100,000 USD.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Bitcoin definitively exceeded $100,000 USD well before April 12, 2026. Multiple independent price trackers — including Kraken, TradingView, and Bitbo — record an all-time high of approximately $126,000–$126,277 in October 2025. Major news outlets confirm Bitcoin first crossed the $100,000 threshold on December 4–5, 2024. No credible source supports the claim, and every piece of available evidence directly contradicts it.

Caveats

  • Bitcoin first crossed $100,000 in December 2024 and reached an all-time high near $126,000 in October 2025, directly contradicting the claim.
  • Every source examined — including major exchanges, charting platforms, and mainstream financial media — refutes the claim with no dissenting evidence.
  • Minor definitional differences (exchange-specific pricing, intraday wicks vs. closing prices) do not rescue the claim, as all referenced trackers report highs well above $100,000.
