Bitcoin Hack Crashes Price: DCA Investor Near Break-Even
2 Nov
Summary
- Investor buying at Bitcoin's $126,080 peak is nearly break-even.
- Dollar-cost averaging strategy kept portfolio from collapse.
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw significant outflows in late October.
A Bitcoin investor who initiated weekly $100 purchases from the cryptocurrency's record high of $126,080 on October 6, 2025, is now close to breaking even. Despite Bitcoin's 38% drop to $78,050 following a massive $6.3 billion hack on Binance, this investor's dollar-cost averaging strategy has kept their 0.0719 BTC investment, valued at approximately $5,615, nearly at their $5,600 cost basis.
This strategy contrasts with an investor who began buying at Bitcoin's 2021 peak. That individual, after investing $26,000 through the 2022 bear market, now holds assets worth $46,965, an 81% gain, demonstrating the long-term benefits of consistent investment through market volatility.
Market pressure on Bitcoin's price has intensified with Spot Bitcoin ETFs recording $643 million in net outflows on October 30. This significant outflow reduced total ETF assets to $98 billion from $111 billion in early October, impacting Bitcoin's immediate price trajectory, which currently trades below its 20-day and 50-day moving averages.
