Real closing prices · no sign-up

If you put $1,000 into Bitcoin in 2015, you would have $341,168 today

We could not buy in 2015. Bitcoin's price history only goes back to December 2014, which is the earliest close we have any record of, so that is the date this is actually calculated from instead of 2015. For a coin or a stock, that is usually the date it first started trading, or the earliest data its exchange publishes.

What this does not include. No dividends, no inflation adjustment, no tax, no fees, and no account for the fact that almost nobody holds one thing for 12 years without touching it. It also only works looking backwards. The assets in this list are here because they are the ones people ask about, which means they are survivors, and the ones that went to zero are not on the menu.

The ones people ask about

Prices from Yahoo Finance, monthly closes, refreshed daily. Past performance says nothing about future returns, and nothing here is investment advice.
