How to Use DCA Bots to Buy Bitcoin on Binance and Bybit

Last updated on May 4, 2025

DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is one of the safest and most beginner-friendly ways to invest in Bitcoin. Instead of trying to time the market, DCA involves buying a fixed amount of BTC at regular intervals—regardless of the price. This strategy reduces the impact of volatility and helps you build your position over time.

In this post, we’ll show you how to automate this process using DCA bots on two major crypto platforms: Binance and Bybit.

What is a DCA Bot?

A DCA bot automatically buys a set amount of crypto (e.g., Bitcoin) at regular intervals (daily, weekly, etc.). This removes emotional decision-making and keeps your investment consistent.

Getting Started: Things You’ll Need

• An account with Binance or Bybit (or both)
• Some USDT or other stablecoin/crypto to buy BTC
• A basic idea of how much and how often you want to buy

Setting Up a DCA Bot on Binance

Step 1: Log Into Your Binance Account

Go to binance and log in.

Step 2: Go to “Auto-Invest”

• Hover over “Earn” in the top menu
• Click “Auto-Invest” from the dropdown

Step 3: Choose Bitcoin (BTC)

• Click “Create a Plan”
• Search for BTC and select it

Step 4: Configure Your Plan

• Recurring Cycle: Daily, Weekly, Bi-weekly, Monthly
• Amount per Purchase: How much USDT (or other crypto) to use
• Start Date: Choose when to start
• Choose Flexible Savings if you want unspent funds to earn interest

Step 5: Confirm

• Review your plan
• Click “Confirm”

✅ Done! Your DCA plan is now active.

Setting Up a DCA Bot on Bybit

Bybit does not have an official “Auto-Invest” feature (yet), but you can use third-party bots like 3Commas or BitUniverse—or use Bybit’s Trading Bot feature (as of late 2024, DCA functionality has been added).

Step 1: Log Into Your Bybit Account

Go to bybit and log in.

Step 2: Go to “Trading Bots”

• Hover over “Tools” or “Trade” tab
• Select “Trading Bots”

Step 3: Choose “Spot DCA Bot”

• Click “Create Bot”
• Choose the BTC/USDT pair

Step 4: Set Up Your Strategy

• Investment Amount per Cycle (e.g., $10)
• Buying Frequency: Daily, Every 3 Days, Weekly, etc.
• Start Time and Duration (optional)
• Choose “Continue Until Stopped” or set an end condition

Step 5: Review and Launch

• Double-check your inputs
• Click “Create” or “Start Bot”

✅ Your DCA bot will now handle the buying for you!

Tips for Smart DCA

• Stay Consistent: Don’t stop the plan during dips—it’s when DCA works best.
• Start Small: You can always increase your investment later.
• Track Performance: Use the portfolio feature on Binance or Bybit to monitor growth.
• Withdraw or Reallocate Periodically: Rebalance if needed.

Is DCA Safe?

DCA is not risk-free, but it’s one of the safest strategies in a volatile market like crypto. You won’t buy the top—or the bottom—but you’ll average in over time. Perfect for long-term believers in Bitcoin.

Final Thoughts

DCA bots are a set-it-and-forget-it way to build your Bitcoin holdings without getting caught up in market hype or FOMO. Whether you’re using Binance or Bybit, automating your purchases saves time and keeps your emotions out of the equation.
