Consistently purchasing the leading cryptocurrency for a fixed amount, regardless of market conditions, yields double-digit returns over a five-year horizon, according to simulation data<\/a> of the DCA<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n

With weekly investments of $250 starting in 2021, the total investment would amount to $65,500. During this period, the accumulated holdings could reach 1.59 BTC at an average rate of $41,027.<\/p>\n

At the current price of approximately $70,700, the portfolio’s value is estimated at $112,920, resulting in a net profit of 72.4%.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, this portfolio is valued at around $24,000 \u2014 a loss of 8.3%. If Bitcoin’s price recovers to $100,000, the asset valuation would rise to $33,900, reaching $38,500 at peak values.<\/p>\n

Comparison with S&P 500<\/h2>\n

\n

The S&P 500 has now outperformed Bitcoin by over 4x in the last 5 years.<\/p>\n

Even after 2 massive Bitcoin crashes in the last 5 years, you still would have outperformed the S&P by almost 20% by DCAing.<\/p>\n
