Bitcoin is revolutionary innovation as important as the internet itself—a global, open monetary network that is reshaping finance, commerce, and individual freedoms.

As a store of value, Bitcoin has been the best performing asset for more than a decade, outpacing stocks, gold, and real estate.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the first and only decentralized digital currency that allows people to securely send, receive, and store value without relying on banks or governments. It operates on a global, peer-to-peer computer network using blockchain technology, offering transparency, fixed and limited supply, and censorship resistance.

Why does Bitcoin have value?

Bitcoin has value because it’s scarce (only 21 million), secure, and useful for storing and transferring money without permission. Unlike fiat currencies (like the US dollar), Bitcoin is immune to quantitative easing and other inflationary measures. Because Bitcoin is a digital currency, it is highly portable and therefore extremely easy to transact with with anyone in the world.

How does Bitcoin work?

Bitcoin isn’t controlled by a government or company. It runs on a secure code that uses advanced mathematics (cryptography) to protect your money and verify every transaction on a distributed ledger. Instead of trusting banks, Bitcoin relies on a global network of computers that follow the same math-based rules, making it fair, predictable, and nearly impossible to cheat.
