Values are measured at the year's final scheduled purchase; the current year shows the latest purchase to date.

How this is calculated: purchases are simulated on UTC calendar days against Kraken weekly candles interpolated to daily prices, with real daily market data covering 2010–2015. No exchange fees are applied, and amounts are in USD. Read the full methodology.
