Compare bitcoin and ether through the public ETH/BTC cross rate.
Enter an amount to see the estimate.
No fees, spread, or slippage are included.
Enter a Bitcoin amount above. The calculator translates it through the relevant public reference and displays an indicative amount in Ether. You can reverse the direction without leaving the page.
This is a ratio between two volatile assets. It does not use a fiat price and can move even when both assets rise or fall together.
Kraken's public ETH/BTC market expresses ether directly in bitcoin. Reversing the pair uses the reciprocal of that cross rate. No fiat assumption is needed, and both sides can change value at the same time.
Bitcoin is the native unit of the Bitcoin network. One BTC can be divided into 100,000,000 satoshis, and control depends on the keys required to spend its transaction outputs.
BTC is used to measure bitcoin balances, transaction outputs, fees and market prices. The protocol's issuance schedule is separate from the exchange rate shown by a venue.
Ether is the native asset of Ethereum, a proof-of-stake smart-contract network. ETH pays network fees and participates in staking and application markets.
An ETH conversion can compare Ethereum's native asset with bitcoin, fiat or another supported market unit.
The page answers a unit question only. It cannot decide whether either asset, venue, custody method or transaction is suitable for a reader.
BTC: BTC has no central price and can move sharply. A conversion says nothing about custody, transaction finality, taxes or whether a purchase suits a reader.
ETH: ETH and BTC are both volatile. Cross rates also reflect separate consensus, issuance, application and governance risks.
Spread, order-book depth, slippage, funding charges, withdrawal fees and taxes remain outside the calculation.
Examples use the current public reference when it is available.

No. Bitcoin.now is informational only and does not accept orders, connect accounts or provide executable quotes.
Venues have separate order books. Spread, liquidity, fees, slippage and timing can all produce a different executable value.
This direction values a Bitcoin amount in Ether. Both sides can move, so the cross rate can change even when they rise or fall against dollars together.
Use a known BTC quantity. The tool does not read a wallet, connect an account, or verify ownership.
The calculation keeps each market leg and quote asset labelled instead of hiding a fiat or stablecoin assumption.
Separate order books, liquidity, fees, and timestamps can make another venue show a different cross rate.
