Bitcoin DCA Investment of $100/Month Since 2015 Returned +4,515%, Turning $13,700 Into $632,000: Coinbird Analysis

According to Coinbird's Bitcoin DCA Calculator analysis, an investor who made $100 monthly Bitcoin purchases starting in January 2015 would have invested $13,700 total through May 19, 2026, accumulating 8.219 BTC now valued at approximately $632,315—a return of +4,515%. The strategy acquired Bitcoin at an average cost of roughly $1,667 per unit due to significantly larger purchases early in the period before prices rose.

However, DCA investors experienced a maximum drawdown of -76.72% during the 2022 bear market. In a shorter timeframe tested by Coinbird, a $100/month DCA plan started near the May 2021 market peak returned +84.34% through May 2026, outperforming a lump-sum investment (+43%) over the same period because automatic purchases accumulated more Bitcoin during the 2022 crash.
