Methodology & data
Frequently asked questions
01What is a Bitcoin DCA plan?
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount in Bitcoin at regular intervals regardless of price. It smooths your entry price and removes timing risk from the decision.
02Has a Bitcoin DCA plan paid off historically?
It depends on the period. The calculator simulates it with real historical prices. Example: $100 per month over the last 5 years would have meant 6,100 in contributions, worth about 9,134 today.
03Which interval is best - daily, weekly or monthly?
Over long horizons the difference between daily, weekly and monthly is small. Consistency matters more than the interval. The calculator supports all three.
04Where does the price data come from?
From our own price database at 5-minute resolution going back to 2012. US-dollar prices are real history; euro values before ~2024 are converted at a reference rate (see methodology).
05Is this financial advice?
No. The calculator uses historical data for educational purposes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
