🚀 Weekly Investment Simulation – Week 29. $25/week to reach Financial Freedom – Update 24 August 2026

Week 29 is here, and this one is special.

For months, I've been putting just $2.50 per week into Bitcoin.

Last week I was incredibly close to my first major BTC milestone.

Today, it finally happened:

₿ 0.001 BTC ACHIEVED! 🏆

No big purchase. No attempt to predict the market.

Just consistency.

My strategy remains unchanged:

80% VUG | 10% HIVE | 10% BTC


💰 Week 29

AssetPriceBuyAdded
VUG$87.24$200.22925
HIVE$0.04271$2.5058.53
BTC$79,619$2.500.00003140

Weekly investment: $25
Total invested: $725


📊 My Portfolio

After today's purchases, my holdings are:

AssetHoldingsValue
VUG6.93413$604.92
HIVE1,243.75$53.12
BTC0.00101599$80.89
TOTAL$738.93

Total invested: $725.00

Current value: $738.93

Profit: +$13.93

Return: +1.92% 📈


🏆 0.001 BTC!

This is the milestone I've been waiting for.

Current Bitcoin holdings:

0.00101599 BTC

That may not sound like much.

But remember how we got here:

$2.50 at a time.

Bitcoin is now also worth approximately $80.89, compared with the $72.50 I've contributed to it.

That's approximately:

🔥 +$8.39

🔥 +11.57%

And this is exactly what I wanted this experiment to demonstrate.

Small amounts can become meaningful when given enough time.


👀 Something Else Is About to Happen...

Bitcoin isn't our only milestone.

Look at VUG:

6.93413 / 7 shares

We're only about 0.066 shares away from owning 7.

And HIVE?

1,243.75 / 1,250 HIVE

Only about:

6.25 HIVE

away from our next target.

So Week 30 could potentially bring us two more milestones at the same time:

🎯 7 VUG shares

🎯 1,250 HIVE

After finally reaching 0.001 BTC this week, that would make Week 30 another very special update.


📈 Recent Progress

I'm going to make this table smaller from now on and focus on recent weeks instead of repeating the entire history every time.

WeekInvestedPortfolio
25$625$600.90
26$650$647.80
27$675$678.93
28$700$698.71
29$725$738.93

This is becoming interesting.

Just two weeks ago, the portfolio was almost exactly at break-even.

Today we're about $14 above the money invested.

But short-term profit isn't what excites me most.

The accumulation does.


📉 Market Insight – Week 29

Bitcoin made the biggest move this week.

Last week:

BTC: $64,567

Today:

BTC: $79,619

That's a significant increase, and because I've been accumulating Bitcoin throughout the previous lower-price weeks, the BTC position has finally moved into profit.

Meanwhile, VUG continues doing exactly what I wanted it to do:

Providing the portfolio with a strong core.

HIVE remains the most difficult position, but its small 10% allocation limits its impact on the overall portfolio.

This is becoming one of the most interesting lessons from this experiment:

Asset selection matters, but allocation matters just as much.


🎯 New Targets

With 0.001 BTC officially achieved, it's time to move the goalposts.

🟢 VUG

Current: 6.93413 shares

🎯 Next target: 7 shares

99.1% complete

🔴 HIVE

Current: 1,243.75 HIVE

🎯 Next target: 1,250 HIVE

99.5% complete

🟠 BTC

Current: 0.00101599 BTC

🏆 0.001 BTC achieved

🎯 New target: 0.0015 BTC

And after that?

0.002 BTC.

One step at a time.


💬 Final Thoughts

"Big milestones don't always require big investments. Sometimes they just require enough small ones."

Twenty-nine weeks.

$725 invested.

Today the portfolio is worth approximately:

$738.93

But more importantly, I now own:

🟢 6.93413 VUG shares

🔴 1,243.75 HIVE

🟠 0.00101599 BTC

The first Bitcoin milestone is officially complete. 🏆

And two more milestones are already waiting for us.

Week 30 could be a big one.

See you next week. 🚀
