Bitcoin Dollar-Cost Averaging Calculator

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means buying a fixed amount of Bitcoin on a fixed schedule — weekly, monthly, or any interval — regardless of the price. Instead of trying to time the market, you buy at every price: high, low, and everywhere in between. Over time, this naturally results in a lower average cost than a single lump-sum purchase at the wrong moment.

Why DCA removes timing risk

Bitcoin's price is famously volatile. Buying at the peak of a bull cycle has historically meant waiting years to break even. DCA sidesteps this by spreading purchases across time — so you automatically buy more Bitcoin when the price is low and less when it's high. Research published by Glassnode and the BIS shows that Bitcoin holders who averaged in over 12+ months outperformed both lump-sum buyers and active traders in the majority of rolling time windows since 2014.

How to use this simulator

Choose a start date, a frequency (weekly or monthly), and an amount in your local currency. The simulator calculates your total invested, the Bitcoin you would have accumulated, and its current value at today's live price. Results are illustrative — they reflect exact historical prices, not averages or approximations.
