Bitcoin price in USD today: how much is 1 BTC?

Bitcoin trades continuously, so there is no single closing price shared by every market. HowMuchIsBTC checks public market sources and displays a reference figure for quick understanding.

Small differences between websites are normal because each source may use different markets, update times, and calculation methods.

USD is a widely used reference currency for Bitcoin market data. Other currency views on this site use a recent public foreign-exchange reference where direct local-currency data is not available.

First check that both numbers describe 1 BTC in the same currency. A USD figure and a locally converted figure are not directly comparable. Then compare the update times and named sources: one page may use a different market, a market average or an older cached value.

This site displays a reference price, not a quote guaranteed by a particular service. A service-specific quote may include a spread or fees that this reference figure does not include. A larger difference is a reason to check the source and freshness, not to assume that either number is universally correct.

It compares the current reference price with the price approximately 24 hours earlier, not necessarily with midnight in your time zone. For example, a move from $100,000 to $98,000 is −2%. These are illustrative numbers, not a live quote or a forecast.

The live homepage checks for a fresh value about every 30 seconds. The update time and source names are shown so the number can be read with the right context.
