# Bitcoin (BTC) Search Interest Hits a Five-Year Low in October By Enna Lee Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/42639 Published: 2026-10-28T13:55:10.000Z Updated: 2026-10-28T13:55:10.000Z Section: Investing > The worldwide index scored 19 in the weeks beginning Oct. 11 and Oct. 18. Robinhood’s crypto revenue fell 55% year over year to $120 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30. Worldwide search interest for Bitcoin (BTC) reached a five-year low in two consecutive October weeks, while Robinhood’s third-quarter figures showed lower crypto revenue and trading volume. An index based on worldwide searches for “bitcoin” recorded a score of 19 out of 100 in the weeks beginning Oct. 11 and Oct. 18 (UTC). The previous low in its five-year view was 21 in late September 2023. The readings are close to an [earlier projection]() that Bitcoin search interest would approach 20. The index uses sampled search data, adjusts results for the selected location and time range, and scales them from zero to 100. A score of 19 reflects relative interest, not a count of searches or a measure of how many people hold Bitcoin. The readings do not show why interest fell or establish that Bitcoin has reached a price bottom. Robinhood released its results Oct. 27 for the quarter ended Sept. 30. Crypto transaction-based revenue was $120 million, down 55% from a year earlier, while crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. The volume figure covers cryptocurrencies broadly and includes trading on the Robinhood app and Bitstamp. It does not isolate Bitcoin activity or establish a marketwide decline in Bitcoin trading. ## Links in this article - [earlier projection](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/29799)
