Clear answers

Before you use the numbers.

Do I need to buy a whole Bitcoin?

No. Bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 smaller units called sats. You can calculate any amount here.

Is this the price I will receive from an exchange?

No. BTCCost shows an independent reference market value. A provider may include fees, spread or other costs in its final quote.

Where does the reference price come from?

We compare available public quotes from CoinGecko, Coinbase and Kraken, then use the median of successful sources.

Does BTCCost recommend where to buy Bitcoin?

No. BTCCost does not rank exchanges, accept affiliate commissions or tell you where to buy.
