DividendeOhneEnde
145 company profiles from four years of dividend blogging.
Each one recalculated today: what became of the stock, and what would the same money have become in Bitcoin?
12 stocks did better than Bitcoin, and 0 no longer have any prices. Median: +46% versus +650%. Calculated with €1,000 on the day of each article, weekly prices (total return, Yahoo Finance) and reinvested dividends, before fees and taxes. As of November 1, 2026.
A look back, not a forecast. The articles came out between 2018 and 2022, years in which Bitcoin swung wildly; at the end of 2018 the price was close to a low, and in 2022 it fell by about three quarters at one point. Leaving out taxes tends to favor the stocks: dividends are taxed every year, while Bitcoin is tax-free in Germany after one year of holding.
