Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into Bitcoin remains one of the most recommended strategies for long-term investors, removing the need to time markets while building meaningful exposure over time. We analyze the outcomes of a hypothetical $1,000/month DCA program from January 2022 to May 2026.
Performance Analysis
A consistent $1,000/month investment from Jan 2022 through May 2026 would have deployed $54,000 total capital. The average purchase price across all buys was $41,250. At current BTC price of ~$100,000, the portfolio value would be approximately $131,000—a 143% total return on invested capital.
