$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world's first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a peer-to-peer network, it eliminates the need for intermediaries like banks. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, secured by cryptography.

BTC recently hit a new all-time high of over $112,000, fueled by growing institutional adoption and significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. The current US administration's pro-crypto stance and proposals for a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" are further bolstering investor confidence. Its limited supply and decentralized nature position it as an alternative store of value, particularly amidst global economic shifts.
