Bitcoin News

Bitcoin (BTC) is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, originally described in a 2008 paper by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Launched in January 2009, it was the world’s first cryptocurrency, and remains the most popular, with the highest market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin was built on several key innovations. Firstly, Nakamoto guaranteed that Bitcoin transactions were immutable, by recording all transactions on a distributed ledger known as a blockchain. Secondly, he ensured Bitcoin’s scarcity by capping the total number of Bitcoin in existence at 21 million. Finally, the community was incentivized to verify transactions by receiving rewards in the form of “mined” Bitcoin for checking the accuracy of the blockchain.

    Bitcoin Mining Is Now More Difficult Than Ever Before

    It’s the metric that many Bitcoin investors don’t know—or care—about. But they should, despite the biggest and oldest digital coin’s price taking a hit earlier Monday. Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has edged up again to touch a new high. Data from CoinWarz shows that the difficulty hit a new all-time high of 110.45 trillion on Sunday. That means it’s harder than ever before to mine a new block. In the world of Bitcoin, mining operations scattered around the world—typically large warehouses full of...

    Bitcoin Dips Below $90,000 as Fed Rate Cut Doubts Grow

    The price of Bitcoin fell to a two-month low Monday, as markets adjusted to the prospect of tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve.

And it’s been nearly a month since Bitcoin set an all-time high of $108,000, although the asset traded hands above $100,000 last week. While market players continue to speculate on shifts in crypto regulation ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’...

    Dogecoin Is Down, But These Major Meme Coins Are Bleeding Even Harder

    Bitcoin Hits Lowest Price Since November as Dogecoin, XRP and Solana Fall

    Financial markets turned red early Monday amid fears that U.S. interest rates will remain high in 2025—and Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies felt the weight of that concern.

The top coin by market cap is now down over 4% on the day and nearly 9% over the last week at a current price of $90,700. Just last week, Bitcoin briefly reclaimed a price point above the $100,...

    Beyond MicroStrategy: 7 More Publicly Traded Companies That Are Stockpiling Bitcoin

    MicroStrategy's Bitcoin buying plan—once maligned by big businesses—has produced blockbuster profits for the software company amid the latest Bitcoin boom, pushing its stock price to all-time highs in recent months as its stash tops $40 billion worth of the coin. And its success has inspired a crop of copycats, though MicroStrategy founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor probably doesn’t mind—he’s been advocating for such a movement for years now.
