Historical tests comparing investing $12,000 in Bitcoin all at once versus spreading it over 12 months found that lump-sum buying accumulated more BTC about 68% of the time. The median advantage for lump-sum was around 24-30%, but in the worst 5% of cases, it resulted in 44% less BTC than monthly buying. These tests excluded fees and taxes and only reflect past data, not future predictions. While dollar-cost averaging can reduce timing risk, it doesn't guarantee better returns and may incur more fees. Investors with a fixed sum to invest face a trade-off between potential higher gains and downside risk when choosing between lump-sum and monthly purchases.
