    Compares the down payment + closing costs invested in BTC vs. used to buy the property.

    10-Year Worked Example

    A typical comparison starts with a $400,000 property, 20% down, 6.5% mortgage, 3.5% appreciation, 5% rental yield, and the same cash invested into BTC. The calculator then subtracts interest, tax, maintenance, vacancy, and closing costs before comparing net outcomes.

    This makes the comparison fairer than headline price charts: real estate benefits from leverage and rent, while Bitcoin benefits from liquidity and fewer operating costs.

    Tax, Leverage, and Risk

    Real estate may offer mortgage leverage, depreciation, interest deductions, and tax deferral in some jurisdictions. Bitcoin is usually simpler: gains are generally taxed when sold, but rules vary by country and holding period.

    Leverage cuts both ways. A 20% down payment can amplify gains if property prices rise, but it can also wipe out equity faster if prices fall while interest, repairs, and vacancy continue. For broader context, compare with the Bitcoin vs real estate, S&P 500, and gold guide.

    Disclaimer

    This calculator provides estimates based on simplified assumptions. Real estate returns vary dramatically by location, market conditions, and property type. Bitcoin past performance does not guarantee future returns. Mortgage calculations use standard amortization and do not account for adjustable rates, PMI, or tax deductions.
