Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $63,448, down 2.2% over the past 30 days. Its market cap — supply times price — is $1.27T, the 1-largest in crypto. Over a year it is -48% (down), and it sits -50% from its all-time high. Total value locked on this chain is $3.4B — negligible against market cap, which simply means TVL is not what this asset is for. On tradability, the book is thin, so incoming money moves the price easily. Taken together, the overall heat score is 29 (COOL). A higher number means more of the conditions for a rally are in place — it is not a price forecast.

Overview What is Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.
With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.
Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.
Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.

Supply Who controls the supply
Of the mining cap of 21,000,000 BTC, 96% is on the market today. 96% has been issued so far; the remaining 4% is still to come from future mining — that is future dilution waiting to happen.

Heat score Heat factor breakdown
29
Heat scoreCOOLOverall heat score
How the overall score is built: market gate 42 (applied to everything) × geometric mean of the four factors 69 (momentum, liquidity, fundamentals and supply, multiplied together) → 29. It is not a simple average: a weak market holds the whole score down, and a single weak factor drags the rest with it.
Factor breakdown (0–100; higher means more conditions are in place)
Regime (market gate)gate
42
→ The market gate is neutral. Asset-specific factors decide this one.
Momentum
46
→ The trend is flat — no clear direction yet.
Liquidity (traded volume depth)
100
→ Volume is deep enough that a move is one you could actually participate in.
Fundamentals (TVL / market cap)
50
→ TVL is unremarkable relative to market cap.
Supply lightness
100
→ Most of the supply already circulates, so unlock pressure is light.
Development activity → 108 code updates in the last four weeks; development is very active.
