$BTC

BTC, the ticker symbol for *Bitcoin*, represents the world’s first and most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin introduced the concept of decentralized, peer-to-peer digital money. It operates on a blockchain, a public ledger that records all transactions securely and transparently. Bitcoin is often seen as a store of value, frequently compared to digital gold, and is increasingly used as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Institutional interest, global adoption, and limited supply (21 million coins) drive its demand. $BTC continues to shape the future of finance and digital innovation.
