Dogecoin Price (DOGE)

Dogecoin Price Today

The price at the top of this page is the US dollar value of one Dogecoin (DOGE), updated automatically from CoinGecko's market data. CoinGecko works out the price as a volume-weighted average of trades on a selected group of large exchanges, so it is a market-wide reference rate rather than any one exchange's quote, and the price you are offered when you buy or sell will differ slightly. Because one DOGE costs a few cents, everyday moves show up in the third or fourth decimal place: a change from $0.0834 to $0.0842 is a rise of about 1%. To see what any amount of DOGE is worth in dollars, use the DOGE to USD converter. Every figure in the sections below shows the date it was checked, because the market moves faster than any article.

What Moves the Dogecoin Price

Dogecoin has no company, cash flow or fixed supply behind it, so its price is what buyers and sellers agree on at any moment. Six forces have done most of the moving.

1. New supply: Every block pays its miner 10,000 new DOGE, and a block arrives about once a minute, so about 14 million DOGE are created every day: 4.98 billion in the 12 months to 14 October 2026 (Blockchair). Miners sell much of that to cover their costs, so the market has to absorb a steady flow of new coins before the price can rise.
2. Social media and Elon Musk: DOGE reacts to online attention more than almost any large coin. On 28 January 2021, as Reddit users piled in, it closed at $0.0365, five times the previous day's $0.0074 (Binance). Elon Musk's posts drove the 2021 run, which peaked on 7 May 2021, the day before he hosted Saturday Night Live; three days later DOGE had lost about a third. When the incoming US administration named its cost-cutting body the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, on 12 November 2024, the coin rallied to $0.4843 by 8 December (Binance).
3. ETF flows: US exchange-traded funds that track DOGE started trading in September 2025, so investors can now follow the price through a brokerage account. So far they are small: the four US funds that hold DOGE had about 266 million DOGE between them in their latest reports (June to October 2026), roughly 0.17% of the supply. A new fund, or one closing, moves sentiment more than the flows themselves.
4. Bitcoin and risk appetite: DOGE usually moves with bitcoin, only further. Over the 12 months to 13 October 2026, DOGE's daily price changes had a correlation of 0.8 with bitcoin's, and they were about one and a half times as volatile (67% a year against 44%, Binance daily prices). Over the same year DOGE fell about 58% while bitcoin fell about 25% (CoinGecko).
5. Leverage: Much DOGE trading happens through futures and other borrowed positions. When the price moves sharply, platforms close those positions automatically, and the forced selling feeds on itself. On 10 October 2025, during a market-wide wave of liquidations, DOGE fell from $0.2485 to $0.095 within the day on Binance before recovering to $0.1935.
6. Large holders: Ownership is concentrated. On 14 October 2026, the 10 largest Dogecoin addresses held 44.5% of the supply and the 100 largest held 66.0% (Blockchair). Many of them belong to exchanges holding coins for customers, and one is a burn address whose 1.85 billion DOGE can never be spent, but a few large transfers can still move the market.

Dogecoin Price History and All-Time High

Dogecoin has gone from fractions of a cent to more than 70 cents and back to under 10 cents, with several falls of more than 80% along the way. The table lists the milestones people ask about most. Data providers record slightly different highs and lows, because each draws on a different set of exchanges, so every figure names its source.

On 14 October 2026, DOGE traded about 89% below its 2021 record and about 58% lower than a year earlier (CoinGecko).

What Is Dogecoin and How Does It Work?

Dogecoin is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer launched on 6 December 2013 as a joke, named after the "Doge" meme of Kabosu, a Japanese Shiba Inu. Its code started as a fork of Lucky Coin and Litecoin, both descended from Bitcoin, and both founders stepped back from the project within its first two years. Kabosu died on 24 May 2024, aged 18. It is widely seen as the first memecoin, the type of coin that trades on community and attention rather than on a product.

Like bitcoin, Dogecoin is secured by miners who compete to add the next block, a system called proof of work. It uses the Scrypt algorithm, the same as Litecoin, and targets one block a minute, so a payment usually has its first confirmation within a minute or two. Fees are charged by the size of a transaction and usually cost a fraction of a cent at today's price. Since block 371,337 in September 2014, Dogecoin has been merge-mined with Litecoin, so miners can work on both networks at once with the same computing power and collect rewards on both.

Dogecoin's software is maintained by volunteer developers, with support from the Dogecoin Foundation, a non-profit relaunched in 2021 that also backs Libdogecoin, a code library that lets apps add Dogecoin payments. You can spend DOGE with merchants that take payments through BitPay, which listed Dogecoin among its supported coins on 14 October 2026; check with the merchant before you pay. Dogecoin itself does not run smart contracts. Projects such as Dogechain, an independent network not run by the Foundation, offer apps that use a wrapped version of DOGE.

For the other two coins' prices, see bitcoin and Litecoin.

Dogecoin Supply

Dogecoin has no maximum supply. Its early blocks paid much larger rewards, which were cut in steps until block 600,000, mined on 25 February 2015, and about 100 billion DOGE existed by mid-2015. Since then every block has paid the same 10,000 DOGE. At exactly one block a minute that would be 5.26 billion new coins a year; blocks arrive a little slower in practice, and 4.98 billion DOGE were created in the 12 months to 14 October 2026 (Blockchair).

On 14 October 2026, about 156.32 billion DOGE were in circulation (CoinGecko), so new coins add about 3.2% a year to the supply. Because the amount added each year stays the same while the total grows, that rate falls a little every year: at the current pace it drops below 3% around 2028 and below 2% around 2045. Supporters say the steady issuance keeps DOGE spendable and keeps miners paid; critics say it means holders are always diluted. Market capitalization is the price times the coins in circulation: about $13.0 billion on 14 October 2026, the 12th largest cryptocurrency (CoinGecko).

An ETF lets you follow the DOGE price through a brokerage account, but you own fund shares, not coins: you cannot send them on the Dogecoin network, and the fund charges an annual fee. Read what an ETF is for how they work.

Buy, Sell and Store DOGE with Bitcoin.com

1. Buy: You can buy Dogecoin on Bitcoin.com with a debit or credit card or a bank transfer, through our payment partners MoonPay or Onramper, depending on where you live. The DOGE goes to a Dogecoin address you choose, and the fees and the amount you will receive are shown before you confirm.
2. Sell: To turn DOGE into money, sell crypto on Bitcoin.com and get paid to a supported bank account or card, depending on where you live.
3. Store: The Bitcoin.com Wallet does not support Dogecoin, so keep your DOGE in a wallet that supports the Dogecoin network. A Dogecoin address usually starts with D (multisignature addresses start with A or 9). Check it before you send, because coins sent to an address on another network can be lost. Whether you or a company should hold the keys is explained in custodial vs non-custodial wallets.
4. Convert: To see what any amount of DOGE is worth in dollars, or the other way round, use the DOGE to USD converter.

Dogecoin Price Predictions

Unlike bitcoin, Dogecoin has no published price targets from major banks or fund managers. On 14 October 2026, none of Standard Chartered, Citi, JPMorgan, Bernstein, ARK Invest, VanEck, Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares or Galaxy had a current DOGE forecast in its public research. Several of them earn fees from Dogecoin products: Grayscale (GDOG), 21Shares (TDOG) and REX-Osprey (DOJE) run US Dogecoin ETFs, and Bitwise ran one until 14 October 2026. Many "Dogecoin price prediction" figures online are generated automatically by price websites and are not forecasts that anyone is accountable for.

What prediction markets say. On Polymarket, traders buy and sell contracts that pay out if DOGE reaches a set price by a set date, so the contract prices work as the market's odds. On 14 October 2026, they put the chance of DOGE reaching $0.20 before the end of 2026 at 8%, of reaching $0.16 at 15%, and of falling to $0.06 at 30%.

How past Dogecoin price predictions have done

1. Galaxy Research said in its predictions for 2025, published at the end of December 2024, that DOGE would finally hit $1. Its 2025 high was $0.4341, on 18 January (Binance), and it ended the year at $0.1175. Galaxy marked the call as missed in its predictions for 2026.
2. Prediction markets were too optimistic as well. On 1 January 2026, Polymarket traders put the chance of DOGE reaching $0.20 during 2026 at 58%. Its highest price this year so far is $0.1566, on 6 January (Binance).

How to read a forecast. Check who made it and whether they sell Dogecoin products, check the date, because targets tend to follow the price, and check what it assumes. Bitcoin.com does not publish its own price targets, and nothing in this section is a recommendation to buy or sell Dogecoin.

Risks of Holding Dogecoin

• Volatility: DOGE can move by double digits in a day. In February 2026 it fell 14.8% on the 5th and rose 14.9% on the 14th (Binance), and it lost about 90% from its 2021 peak to its low this August.
• Endless supply: About 5 billion new DOGE are created every year, so the price has to keep finding new buyers just to stand still.
• Concentrated ownership: A small number of addresses, many of them exchanges, hold most of the supply, so one large seller can push the price down quickly.
• Leverage: Borrowing to buy DOGE, or trading futures, magnifies losses and can wipe out a position in one sharp move, as the 10 October 2025 sell-off showed.
• Slow development: Dogecoin Core, the main node software, has had no new release since version 1.14.9 on 1 December 2024 (GitHub). The network runs on it without trouble, but upgrades that other blockchains ship every year arrive slowly, if at all.
• Scams: Fake giveaways that use Elon Musk's name or promise to double your DOGE are common. Nobody legitimate asks you to send coins first, and Dogecoin transactions cannot be reversed.
• An ETF is not your own DOGE: A fund share tracks the price, but it cannot be withdrawn to a wallet, and the fund's fees and the issuer's decisions apply to it.
