$BTC

How much was Bitcoin worth when it started in 2009? When Bitcoin started there was no real price for it as no one was willing to buy it. The first time Bitcoin gained actual value was on October 12, 2009 when Marti Malmi, the Finnish developer who helped Satoshi work on Bitcoin, sold 5,050 Bitcoin for $5.02. This gave 1 bitcoin a value of $0.0009.
