Bitcoin drawdowns vs other assets – Amazon with the largest drawdown of 95%

Alongside Amazon's largest drawdown to date of 95%, Bitcoin price has not remained insulated from such volatile drawdowns.

Quick Take

  • Bitcoin (BTC) is currently experiencing a drawdown of 69% from its all-time high. The collapse of FTX brought BTC to a 76% drawdown in terms of market cap back in November 2022.
  • However, BTC is not an outlier regarding vast and repetitive drawdowns — the same can be seen with Apple and Amazon.
  • Amazon experienced multiple 80% and 90% drawdowns in early 2000, which saw a peak drawdown of 95.12% back in 2001.
  • Apple has experienced 80%+ drawdowns on multiple occasions for over 20 years. The first 80% drawdown was back in 1985 and experienced a similar drawdown after the 2000 tech boom.
