What is Bitcoin (BTC)?
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency, introduced in a 2008 white paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto and launched in January 2009. It runs on a public, decentralised blockchain secured by proof-of-work mining, where thousands of independent computers around the world confirm transactions without any bank, company or government in the middle.
What makes Bitcoin distinctive is its fixed supply. No more than 21 million coins will ever exist, and the rate at which new coins are created is cut roughly in half every four years in an event known as the halving. That scarcity, combined with the network’s long track record, is why many holders describe BTC as "digital gold" and use it as a long-term store of value rather than everyday cash.
Today Bitcoin is the most valuable and widely held crypto asset, tracked by institutions, spot ETFs and retail investors alike. Its price is famously volatile, so the live chart, market-cap and technical indicators on this page are meant to help you follow the trend — not to tell you when to buy or sell.
Zoom out and Bitcoin's swings tend to come back to the same short list: flows into and out of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the roughly four-year halving cycle and shifts in miner supply, macro conditions such as interest rates and the strength of the US dollar and broad risk appetite, since Bitcoin often sets the tone for the whole market. None of these predict where the price goes next; they just explain why it tends to move.
Bitcoin FAQ
Why is Bitcoin called "digital gold"?
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins and a long track record, so many holders treat it as a scarce store of value rather than a currency for daily spending. The comparison is about scarcity and perceived durability, not a guarantee of price.
What is the Bitcoin halving?
Roughly every four years the reward miners receive for adding a block is cut in half, which slows the creation of new coins. The next halvings continue this schedule until issuance approaches zero, and each one draws attention because it reduces new supply.
What is the current price of Bitcoin?
About $63,825 per BTC at the time this page loaded. Because crypto trades 24/7, the BTC price updates continuously, so refresh the page to see the latest figure and 24-hour change.
What drives the price of Bitcoin?
The main forces behind Bitcoin's price include flows into and out of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the roughly four-year halving cycle and shifts in miner supply, macro conditions such as interest rates and the strength of the US dollar and broad risk appetite, since Bitcoin often sets the tone for the whole market. These help explain why BTC moves the way it does, but they are context rather than a forecast — no factor guarantees a direction.
