What is Bitcoin (BTC)?
The world's first and largest decentralized digital currency.
Bitcoin is the world's first cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a decentralised peer-to-peer network secured by Proof-of-Work mining, with a hard cap of 21 million BTC — making it a deflationary asset often compared to digital gold. Bitcoin undergoes a "halving" event every four years, reducing the block reward to miners by 50%, which historically precedes major price appreciation. As of 2025, over 19.7 million BTC are in circulation.
Bitcoin has seen institutional adoption by companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla, approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, and growing acceptance as a reserve asset by several governments. In India, Bitcoin remains the most searched and traded cryptocurrency, favoured by retail investors as a long-term store of value.
