Adoption Coinbird DCA Calculator Data: Monthly Bitcoin purchases since 2015 returned +4,515%, while investors still managed to endure 76.72%, and DCA failed to succeed in investing in Coinbird’s short events.
A new analysis from the crypto comparison platform Coinbird shows what the punishing monthly purchases of Bitcoin since 2015 would have produced, and shows where the popular story of “only DCA in Bitcoin” is stretching the truth.
The findings are based on Coinbird’s Bitcoin DCA Calculator, which uses historical Bitcoin price data from CoinGecko and allows users to model trading activity that goes back to 2013.

Big results
- An investor who started a $100/month Bitcoin DCA plan in January 2015 could have 137 monthly purchases through May 2026, a total of $13,700. By May 19, 2026, the next record 8.219 BTC will be worth approx. $632,315representing a total return of +4,515% on the amount invested. This strategy earned Bitcoin at a purchase price of approximately $1,667 per BTC, as the initial purchase earned more Bitcoin before prices rose.
- For investors who started later, around the May 2021 market before the 2022 crash, the $100/month DCA plan was still returned. +84.34% in the case of May 2021-May 2026 – turning the $6,100 invested in the 61-month purchase price into about $11,244. At the same time, all investments already made in May 2021 returned an average of +43%. In this period, DCA was very successful because the strategy only achieved the most Bitcoin in the 2022 market.
- Most importantly, the investment outperformed DCA over 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year horizons in Coinbird’s test cases. The benefits of five-year DCA were evident after complete breakdown and recovery. The conclusion that “DCA beats most money” is not universal – it depends on the start date and the market.
- Investors in DCA throughout this period still faced a serious challenge – 76.72% during the bear market of 2022, confirming that repeated buying does not eliminate volatility or the emotional problem of having a large deficit.
“The interesting thing is that Bitcoin has not gone up since 2015,” he said Philipp, Founder of Coinbird. “What’s interesting is that, throughout history, monthly purchases due to risk, constant inflation and uncertainty in the supply chain have been increasing.
Coinbird’s Bitcoin DCA Calculator is available for free and allows users to test different currencies, buy times and dates dating back to 2013.
