According to @AltcoinDaily, turning $325,000 into $18,000,000 in 8 years tied to Bitcoin (BTC) implies a total return of about 55.4x, calculated as 18,000,000 ÷ 325,000 (source: @AltcoinDaily on X, Jan 17, 2026). According to @AltcoinDaily, the same figures translate to an approximate 65% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), derived from 55.4^(1/8) − 1 (source: @AltcoinDaily on X, Jan 17, 2026). According to @AltcoinDaily, this also equates to roughly 4.3% average monthly compounding over 96 months, computed as 55.4^(1/96) − 1, providing a practical BTC performance benchmark for long-horizon planning (source: @AltcoinDaily on X, Jan 17, 2026).
