How to convert BTC to USD
Enter a Bitcoin amount above. The calculator translates it through the relevant public reference and displays an indicative amount in U.S. dollars. You can reverse the direction without leaving the page.
The USD result is based on actual BTC/USD venue observations. A BTC/USDT stablecoin market is never substituted for this rate.
The BTC/USD market path
Bitcoin.now reads a direct public BTC/USD market. The displayed rate is attached to that fiat order book and its timestamp; it is not calculated by renaming a stablecoin market or by assuming every venue trades at the same price.
About Bitcoin
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.
About U.S. dollars
The U.S. dollar is fiat money issued within the United States monetary system. A BTC/USD market is an order book quoted in actual dollars, subject to the venue's banking and account arrangements.
USD is a common unit for budgets, accounting and comparing market values in the United States and many international markets.
When this conversion is useful

The page answers a unit question only. It cannot decide whether either asset, venue, custody method or transaction is suitable for a reader.
Risks the number does not show
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.
USD: A USD reference does not include an exchange's spread, card or bank fees, withdrawal costs, taxes or jurisdictional access.
Spread, order-book depth, slippage, funding charges, withdrawal fees and taxes remain outside the calculation.
