About BTC/USD
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins by protocol, and new issuance halves roughly every four years (every 210,000 blocks) in events known as halvings — a programmed scarcity schedule that is central to most investment theses on the asset. The network is secured by proof-of-work mining.
BTC/USD trades around the clock, every day of the year, across global exchanges, which is why FXMARE labels its range as a rolling 24-hour window rather than a session day. The approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 opened the asset to mainstream brokerage accounts and made fund flows a closely watched demand signal. In practice Bitcoin often trades as a high-beta risk asset correlated with technology equities, even as long-term holders frame it as "digital gold".
On the session, BTC/USD is trading at 77,934.00, a move of -558.01 (-0.71%) versus the previous close of 78,492.01. The instrument has ranged between 77,770.00 and 79,760.00 so far today. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Buy.

BTC/USD — frequently asked questions
What is the Bitcoin price in USD today?
This page shows the live BTC/USD price with an intraday chart and the range over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so there is no session close and no weekend gap - the range shown is a rolling 24-hour window rather than a fixed trading day.
What moves the Bitcoin price?
Macro liquidity is a recurring driver: Bitcoin has traded as a high-beta risk asset, so shifts in Federal Reserve rate expectations tend to move it alongside technology equities. Layered on top are flows into and out of the US spot Bitcoin ETFs, the halving supply schedule, exchange and regulatory news, and large-holder activity, which is visible on the public blockchain.
How many bitcoins will there ever be?
The protocol caps total supply at 21 million BTC. New coins enter circulation only as block rewards paid to miners, and that reward halves every 210,000 blocks - roughly every four years - so issuance slows geometrically as the cap is approached. That fixed, publicly verifiable schedule underpins the digital-gold framing of the asset.
