Bitcoin Price (Fact-Checked)

Bitcoin initially surged to $126,080 six days into the shutdown on Oct. 6.


BTC has since fallen more than 17% to around $99,000–$100,000, according to CoinGecko data.

BTC remains down double digits over the past month.

One of the steepest declines occurred on Oct. 10 after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on China, triggering volatility across global markets.

Historical Context: BTC Rallied 266% After Last Shutdown

The last major U.S. government shutdown stretched from late December 2018 to late January 2019.

After it ended on Jan. 25, 2019, Bitcoin surged from $3,550 to $13,000 within five months — a 266% rally.

While not predictive, the historical reference is notable as markets evaluate the potential impact of the current shutdown ending.

Prediction Markets Expect Shutdown to End This Week

Prediction markets are increasingly pricing in a resolution:

Polymarket:

54% chance the shutdown ends between Tuesday and Friday.

Up from 27% just one day earlier.

Kalshi:

Estimates the shutdown will end Friday, marking Day 44.

Meanwhile, President Trump announced on Sunday that most Americans will receive a $2,000 “tariff dividend,” funded by revenue from import tariffs. Roughly 85% of U.S. adults will qualify, excluding high-income earners.

What This Means for Crypto:

A shutdown agreement would remove a major source of market uncertainty.

Bitcoin ETF flows, liquidity, and risk appetite have all been pressured during the shutdown.

Ending the shutdown could improve liquidity conditions and reduce macro stress, benefiting risk assets broadly.
