Bitcoin posted three consecutive monthly gains for the first time since 2012. The cryptocurrency rose 4.8% in July 2026, then surged 25.2% in August, and was up approximately 10.9% in September, trading in the $86,140 to $86,500 range. The last time Bitcoin achieved this feat was in 2012, when it posted gains of 41.0% in July, 6.4% in August, and 24.4% in September, followed by a 9.7% decline in October and a subsequent rally exceeding 2,000%. Analysts caution that current market conditions, regulatory environment, and Bitcoin’s scale today make any direct comparison with 2012 unreliable.
