$BTC

BTC (Bitcoin): The pioneering decentralized digital currency. BTC operates on a blockchain, a distributed ledger that records all transactions without a central authority like a bank. Its limited supply (capped at 21 million coins) and peer-to-peer nature aim to offer a secure, transparent, and censorship-resistant alternative to traditional finance. As of June 9, 2025, BTC's price is around $107,000, having reached a new all-time high of approximately $112,000 in May 2025. It continues to be a highly volatile asset.
