FAQ
Is DCA into Bitcoin a good strategy?
Nobody can say in advance. Historically, a $100 monthly DCA into BTC started in 2017 would show +465.3% as of Sep 28, 2026, but past results do not predict future ones and BTC can lose most of its value.
What was the average buying price of a BTC DCA?
Buying $100 every month since 2017-08 gives an average cost of $14,793 per BTC, versus a latest weekly close of $83,625.
Weekly or monthly DCA for BTC?
Over long periods the difference is usually small; weekly buys smooth entry prices further but can cost more in fixed fees. Use the calculator above to compare both for Bitcoin.
