The part the calculator does not show you
Held from the first day in this data to the last, BONK returned 0.118× — a loss of 88.2%. Long holding periods are usually presented as the thing that rescues a volatile asset, and over this particular window for this particular coin, they did not. It is worth setting the calculator above to the full range and seeing that result written out before assuming time fixes an entry.
The deepest fall took BONK down 95.8%, from $0.00005368 on 21 November 2024 to $0.00000223 on 12 August 2026 — 21 months of falling. BONK has not been back to that peak since. Anyone who bought on 21 November 2024 is still waiting, 12 months later — which is the scenario a backtest showing a positive average return quietly averages away.
At 131.2% annualised volatility, BONK sits in the top band of anything on this site — the drawdown figures above, not the average, are the number to plan around. All BONK calculators →
Frequently asked questions
＋Would buying BONK on the first day of this data and holding have made money?
No. Held across the whole window the position ended at 0.118× — a loss of 88.2%. That is worth stating plainly because "hold long enough and it recovers" is the usual advice, and over the 2 years and 9 months we hold for BONK it did not happen.
＋What is the worst BONK has fallen?
95.8% in this data, from 21 November 2024 down to 12 August 2026 — 21 months of falling. It has not returned to that peak since, so anyone who bought at the top is still waiting. Bear in mind our BONK series starts in 2023; a deeper fall before that date would not appear here.
＋How often does BONK lose half its value?
4 separate falls of 50% or more appear in this data, and the position spent 94.5% of all days more than 20% below a previous peak. A drop of that size is not an exceptional event for this asset — it is a recurring feature of the record, which is the thing to size a position around.
＋What were BONK's best and worst years?
2024 was the best at +104.1%, and 2025 the worst at -74.9%. The gap between those two is the reason a single average annual return is a poor description of this asset: almost nobody experiences the average, they experience one of the two extremes depending on when they bought.
＋Is 2 years and 9 months of data enough to trust this backtest?
Partly. 2 years and 9 months covers real bull and bear conditions for BONK but not a full cycle end to end, so the extremes above are better guides than the average. Coins on this site with longer records give more meaningful answers.
What to keep in mind for BONK
BONK is a memecoin with the volatility that implies, and it correlates far more tightly with Solana than with the broader market.
Solana transactions cost a fraction of a cent, which is exactly why memecoins concentrated there — the cost of a trade is slippage, not gas.
A backtest is one path that already happened. It shows what this plan produced through the exact sequence of prices BONK went through — not what a similar plan will produce through a sequence nobody has seen yet.
