Bitcoin and crypto profits
According to Independent Reserve’s Cryptocurrency Index (IRCI) report, 52% of Australian crypto investors surveyed said they made a Bitcoin or crypto profit in 2025. This is a significant jump from 37% in 2024. Among those who made profit in crypto, investors aged 25 to 34 years old were the most ‘successful’ group, with 64% reporting a profit.
Men (59.4%) were also slightly more likely than women (52.9%) to report profits.
Profits also differed by region, with 75% of ACT residents reporting crypto profits. South Australians, on the other hand, reported the worst crypto profits – with only 41% of respondents indicating they’d made a profit.
Seasoned investors are the biggest winners
Seasoned crypto investors who have been in the crypto market for six to ten years saw the best results, with 73% of them reporting a profit – almost twice the rate of those with less than one year in the market (37.5%).
Those making larger monthly investments also saw better profitability, with 89% of people investing $10,000+ per month reporting gains.
Bitcoin profits over time
Bitcoin’s price has seen significant increases since it was created in 2009.
During the crypto’s bull market in 2021, Bitcoin’s price skyrocketed by 1,300% from US$7,900 to US$68,000. During the bear market in 2022, Bitcoin’s price dropped by over 75% from US$65,000 to US$15,000. However, since then, it has bounced back dramatically.
In December 2025, Bitcoin reached a historic milestone and traded above US$100,000 for the first time ever. In January 2025, it recorded an all-time high price of US$108,790 ($172,000).
Of course, how a cryptocurrency performed in the past is no indicator of how well it’ll perform in the future. Nonetheless, Bitcoin continues to be the dominant cryptocurrency in many countries worldwide, including Australia.
