The invention discloses a preparation method of 1,5,2,4-dioxadithiane 2,2,4,4-tetraoxide. The preparation method comprises a sulfonation reaction and a dehydration condensation reaction, wherein in the sulfonation reaction, methanesulfonic acid and a sulfonating agent are subjected to the sulfonation reaction, and methylene disulfonic acid is obtained; in the dehydration condensation reaction, methylene disulfonic acid prepared by the sulfonation reaction and a formaldehyde compound are dissolved in an organic solvent and subjected to the dehydration condensation reaction in the presence of adehydrating agent, a crude product of 1,5,2,4-dioxadithiane 2,2,4,4-tetraoxide is produced and added to water to be washed, and a refined product of 1,5,2,4-dioxadithiane 2,2,4,4-tetraoxide is obtained after drying. According to the preparation method of 1,5,2,4-dioxadithiane 2,2,4,4-tetraoxide, the traditional method for obtaining intermediate methylene disulfonic acid from sodium methylene disulfonate as a raw material by precipitation, acidification and dehydration is abandoned, and methylene disulfonic acid is directly obtained from methanesulfonic acid by sulfonation. The method has simple preparation process, high atom utilization rate, little three-waste and high yield.
