How to convert ETH to BTC
Enter a Ether amount above. The calculator translates it through the relevant public reference and displays an indicative amount in Bitcoin. You can reverse the direction without leaving the page.
The ETH/BTC cross is informational and may differ across venues because each has its own liquidity and order book.
The ETH/BTC crypto cross
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.
About Ether
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.
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.
When this conversion is useful
- Comparing two volatile crypto units
- Checking how a cross rate changes over time
- Understanding which quote asset a market actually uses
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
ETH: ETH and BTC are both volatile. Cross rates also reflect separate consensus, issuance, application and governance risks.
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.
Spread, order-book depth, slippage, funding charges, withdrawal fees and taxes remain outside the calculation.
