What $100 in Bitcoin in 2024 became
The institutional era. Spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January and the fourth halving arrived in April, pushing BTC past its previous all-time high and into six figures.
If you had put $100 into Bitcoin at the start of 2024 — buying around $44,180 per BTC on January 01, 2024 — you would have acquired roughly 0.0023 BTC. At today's price of $65,750, that position is worth about $149, a return of +49% (1.5x your money).
Lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging
The figure above assumes a single lump-sum buy at the start of 2024. If you had instead spread that same $100 into equal weekly purchases from 2024 until today, it would be worth about $86. Lump sum usually wins when you happen to buy near a market low, while dollar-cost averaging lowers your risk of buying right before a crash. There's no single right answer — it depends on the entry point and your risk tolerance.
