# Dollar-Cost-Average Vault The dollar-cost average has been a trading strategy used in the stock market to allow investors to buy stocks at an average price. As the price of BTC and other assets are very volatile, it is a great strategy for leveling the cost so that it does not buy high. The strategy is aimed at long-term growth with little to no work on when to invest The strategy buys assets like BTC over a period of time. The strategy will buy each day at the same time to get the average price of the assets. This is continued for months to even years depending on the principal amount. This way we are never buying all the assets at once in order to avoid buying at a high price. As BTC and other cryptocurrencies are volatile, the dollar cost average allows us to level the price and ensure that we do not lose too much but at the same time do not miss out on the large gains. {% embed url="" %}
