BTC to USD Conversion Table
About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency — a decentralized monetary network launched in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Its supply is hard-capped at 21 million coins, with issuance halving roughly every four years, which is why it’s often described as digital gold.
BTC trades around the clock on hundreds of exchanges worldwide. The BTC/USD rate shown here is a volume-weighted aggregate across major venues, so it reflects the real market price rather than any single exchange’s quote.
Track Bitcoin in more detail — supply data, historical stats and FAQs — on the Bitcoin price page, or compare it against the wider market on our live crypto prices table.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 1 BTC in USD?

The most common way is to sell BTC on a cryptocurrency exchange and withdraw USD to your bank account. Compare venues on our
exchange ranking — liquidity, fees and withdrawal options vary widely. Some brokers and payment apps also support direct BTC sales.
Is now a good time to convert BTC to USD?
Nobody can tell you that reliably — crypto prices are volatile in both directions. A practical approach is converting in tranches rather than all at once. Our

Where does the BTC/USD rate come from?
