Evaluating Fixed-Amount Bitcoin Purchases Over Time

Summary

This document outlines a simple recurring Bitcoin purchase simulation. At each fixed interval, it spends a preset amount of currency to buy BTC at the observed latest price, accumulates the purchased quantity, and compares the holding’s current market value with total contributions. A chart plots cumulative cost against account value, and the script reports the unrealized difference over time.

The parameters allow the purchase amount and interval to be changed; the listed defaults represent a daily schedule and a fixed CNY contribution. The document provides no historical test period, price series, comparative strategy, or performance findings, so it does not establish that the approach is profitable. The result depends on the chosen start date, purchase schedule, price source, and valuation point. It also omits practical details such as fees, spreads, custody, and taxes, all of which would affect realized returns.

Key ideas

• Each purchase uses the same preset cash amount at a recurring interval.
• The simulation accumulates BTC by dividing each contribution by the latest observed price.
• It tracks total contributions alongside the current value of accumulated holdings.
• The chart visualizes cost and account value, while the reported difference is unrealized.
• No historical results or transaction-cost assumptions are supplied.
