About the Bitcoin Price Converter
This converter turns bitcoin into money and money into bitcoin. It reads the current Bitcoin price from the public mempool.space service straight from your browser, for seven currencies: US dollar, euro, pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Australian dollar and Japanese yen. Type an amount in BTC to see its value, or type an amount of money to see how much bitcoin it buys, including the number of satoshis. If you prefer a price from your own exchange, or the price on a past date, type it in the price box and the tool uses that instead. The price is a market average and not an offer to trade, and the page is not financial advice.

Why a converter price differs from the price you pay
The price of bitcoin is not one number. Hundreds of exchanges trade it at the same time, and each shows a slightly different price depending on demand in its country, its currency pair and its fees. A converter uses one reference price so you can estimate a value fast. When you actually buy or sell, you pay the exchange's price, plus a trading fee, and often a spread between the buy and sell price.
For small amounts this difference is a fraction of a percent. For large amounts or in fast markets it can matter. Use the converter for planning, and use your exchange's quote for the real trade.
Using the converter well
- Round-trip test: convert 1 BTC to money and back. Any gap is rounding only, since the tool uses one price both ways.
- For tax or accounting, type the price from the day of the transaction, not today's price.
- Small amounts are easier to read in satoshis. A payment of 25,000 sats is 0.00025 BTC.
- If a price looks strange, refresh it, because a stale browser tab can show an old number.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the price come from?
From the public price feed of mempool.space, fetched by your browser. It is a market price taken from large exchanges, so it can differ a little from the price on the exchange you use.
Why does my exchange show a different price?
Each exchange has its own order book, fees and spread. A converter shows a reference price. Real trades happen at the exchange's price plus its fees, so expect a small difference.
Can I convert at a past price?
Yes. Type the price you want in the price box, for example the price on the day you bought, and the tool uses it instead of the live one.
How many decimals does bitcoin have?
Eight. The smallest piece is one satoshi, which is 0.00000001 BTC. The tool rounds money to cents and shows the BTC side to the satoshi.
Why does it say the price service is busy?
The free service limits requests when it is overloaded. Wait a minute and press Refresh price, or type a price yourself.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a calculator. Bitcoin prices can move a lot in minutes, so never decide a purchase on a converter result alone.
Does it work for other coins?
No, only Bitcoin. For Ether amounts use the Ethereum Unit Converter, which has its own price box.
