Every amount and year →How this calculator works
- Prices
- Bitstamp BTC/USD daily closing prices since August 18, 2011. Today's value uses the live Bitstamp price, or Coinbase if Bitstamp is unavailable.
- One-off
- Buys your amount at the closing price on the date you pick (or the next day with data), then values those bitcoin at today's price.
- Weekly or monthly
- Buys your amount at the close every week or month from your start date until today, the approach known as dollar-cost averaging.
- What it leaves out
- Exchange fees, spreads and taxes, and inflation. Real returns would have been somewhat lower. See the full Bitcoin price history.
