What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Background

Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency, launched in January 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Its supply is hard-capped at 21 million coins, with new issuance cut in half roughly every four years in events called halvings. That fixed supply schedule is the core of the “digital gold” thesis that has carried BTC from a cypherpunk experiment to an asset held by public companies, sovereign funds, and US spot ETFs.

BTC trades like a macro asset: halving cycles, ETF inflows and outflows, dollar liquidity, and Fed policy tend to move it more than anything happening on the Bitcoin network itself. It is also the tide that lifts or sinks the rest of crypto — most altcoins amplify whatever direction bitcoin picks.

The version of bitcoin that trades on Solana is a wrapped representation (cbBTC, issued by Coinbase) that tracks the BTC price 1:1 while living on Solana rails, which is what makes gasless USDC swaps possible on Higher. You can buy BTC with Apple Pay in a few minutes, or trade BTC perps with leverage.
