§ Preset · The new cycle so far
DCA from the 2024 halving
The fourth Bitcoin halving cut the block reward from 6.25 to 3.125 coins on 19 April 2024. This run is the youngest preset on the page — about two years of weekly $50 buys. There isn't a full cycle here to draw conclusions from yet, and that's the point. The chart shows the early shape of the post-halving stack, sized so a future visitor can compare what it looked like at the start against what it looked like later. Bookmark and revisit.
