What 2022 actually was: through the bear market
2022 was the worst calendar year for stocks since 2008, with inflation and rate hikes hammering equities and bonds together. DCA investors who started this year were buying cheaper than the prior cohort for the entire 12 months. The 2023-2024 recovery turned those purchases into outsized gains.
For a Bitcoin DCA buyer who started January 2022 with $500 a month, the schedule pulled in 54 purchases through 2026-06-29. Total invested: $27,000. Final value: $39,021. That works out to an annualized return of 16.49% per year on the irregular cashflow series.
The numbers above use adjusted closing prices (dividends reinvested, splits applied) and apply a T+1 policy: when the 1st of the month landed on a weekend or holiday, the trade executed at the next trading day's close. Bitcoin pages execute on the exact scheduled date because crypto trades 24/7.
