About the asset
About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It runs on a global peer-to-peer network secured by Proof of Work mining, with a hard supply cap of 21 million BTC — a property that frames most of the investment narrative around it.
On-chain settlement happens roughly every ten minutes when miners confirm a new block. Block rewards halve every four years, with the next halving expected in April 2028. That schedule is what makes BTC's supply curve predictable in a way no fiat currency or commodity can match — and is the structural reason long-term holders refer to themselves as hodlers rather than traders.
