Average US worker now needs over 12 months to earn one BTC
A new chart by Protos shows that it currently takes over one year of full-time work for the average US worker to earn enough money to buy one Bitcoin. This work cost was unprecedented prior to 2024. However, the current cost is actually cheaper on a wage basis than its peak in July 2025, when it took 1.6 years (394 working days) to earn one BTC, with the average price of BTC at $115,101 that month. The data for September 2026 indicates 2,127 hours (12 months) of work are needed. The chart uses wage averages from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and CoinMarketCap data.
