Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency and blockchain. Created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, resulting in lower fees, global accessibility, and censorship resistance. With a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is often referred to as "digital gold" and serves as a store of value and hedge against monetary inflation.

Bitcoin is a crypto network or digital asset that moves through blockchain-based infrastructure rather than a traditional bank rail. Traders usually watch network activity, liquidity, supply, and broader crypto sentiment when evaluating BTC.

BTC has a listed maximum supply of 21.00M BTC, with about 20.05M currently shown on this page.
