Bitcoin (BTC) Backtest

Walk-forward validated backtest results for Bitcoin. The model is trained on historical data and tested exclusively on unseen future data.

Model 2.5.8.3 2 Walk-Forward Folds May 2020 – Apr 2026 $75,220.01 (-1.08%)

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralized proof-of-work blockchain with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Bitcoin is widely regarded as digital gold and serves as the benchmark asset for the entire crypto market. Its four-year halving cycles have historically driven major bull markets, making cycle-aware trading models particularly effective for BTC.

Per-Fold Results

Each fold is an independent out-of-sample test period aligned with a Bitcoin halving cycle. The model is trained on earlier cycles and tested on the next — never seeing the test data during training.
