Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that runs on a public ledger called a blockchain. No company or government issues it. New coins are created by miners who secure the network, and the total supply is capped at 21 million, which is the basis of the “digital gold” argument.

What moves the Bitcoin price?

Over short periods: liquidity, leverage, and flows into and out of spot ETFs and exchanges. Over longer periods: the supply schedule (halvings cut new issuance roughly every four years), institutional adoption, interest rates and dollar strength, and regulation. Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day, so it often reacts to macro news before stock markets open.

How do spot Bitcoin ETFs work?

A spot ETF holds actual Bitcoin in custody and issues shares that trade on a stock exchange, so investors get price exposure through a brokerage account without holding coins themselves. Daily creations and redemptions of ETF shares are one of the most watched indicators of institutional demand.
