See what a $1,000 investment in any year would be worth today
A $100 investment in Bitcoin in 2010 at $0.10 per coin would have purchased 1,000 BTC. At today's price of approximately $70,000, those coins would be worth $70 million — one of the greatest returns in investment history.
While past returns are not guaranteed to repeat, Bitcoin's long-term growth model (the Power Law) suggests continued appreciation over multi-year horizons. The key insight from these historical scenarios is that buying at any point and holding for 4+ years has always been profitable so far. Dollar-cost averaging reduces timing risk.
Bitcoin's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2010 is approximately 150%. However, this average masks extreme volatility — individual years have ranged from -64% (2022) to +9,900% (2010). The returns tend to diminish over time as the market matures.
