Bitcoin (BTC) Price Today

About Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, and it is widely held as a digital store of value, often described as "digital gold." As of the latest update, one BTC is worth $83,515.98. Because crypto markets never close, this figure reflects the most recent data and will keep moving.

How the Bitcoin price is determined

There is no single official BTC price. Bitcoin trades on many exchanges at once, each with its own order book, and the figure shown here is drawn from market data aggregated across major venues. Because crypto markets run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, the price can move at any time, including overnight and on weekends when traditional currency markets are closed.

Bitcoin can also be more volatile than traditional currencies, so the value you see is best read as accurate as of right now rather than a locked quote. For a deeper explanation, see our guide on how crypto differs from fiat, and on reading market cap, supply, and volume.

How to convert BTC to other currencies

Currvo converts Bitcoin by first expressing it in US dollars and then into your chosen currency, the same consistent method it uses for every asset. The table above shows 1 BTC in major world currencies, and you can convert any amount, in either direction, on the main converter. The rates shown are mid-market reference rates; an exchange or broker where you actually buy or sell BTC may quote a slightly different price after fees.
