Bitcoin price today
Price vs. our own node's realized price
Realized price is the average cost basis at which every bitcoin in circulation last moved, computed from our own node's UTXO set snapshot. It is not a market price but a cost-basis estimate. Our latest snapshot (block 967,777, September 20, 2026) puts it at $52,677.
Today's price ($85,535) is 1.62x that realized price, a +62.4% gap. This is an approximate, today's-price MVRV, not the official MVRV of that snapshot: the realized price is from the weekly snapshot, the market price is from right now, so the ratio mixes two different moments on purpose, to show where today stands against the last known cost basis.
Historical context
Across the 444 weekly snapshots available since January 12, 2018, today's ratio sits at the 48th percentile, right in the middle of its historical range: neither unusually cheap nor unusually stretched relative to the average cost basis.
Current cycle Score phase
The NodeWitness cycle Score reads -12 today: Neutral / Transition. Confidence: 100% (data coverage across indicators, not hit probability). One of its ten inputs is sentiment — see today's Fear & Greed Index.
Distance from the all-time high
