Bitcoin Base BTC

What BTC actually is on-chain

Bitcoin Base is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0xfaf1c31f6855e91b1a905761c81a79e4966e4709. That address, not the ticker BTC, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BTC, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, BTC is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BTC itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

4 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker BTC: Bitcoin (Bitcoin); Bitcoin AI (BNB Chain, 0xf22a…0854); Bitcoin Second Chance (BNB Chain, 0x0afc…eda6); batcat (Solana, EtBc6g…1R4X). The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0xfaf1…4709. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For BTC the project publishes an active account as @bitcoin_base1. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where BTC sits in the market

Bitcoin Base ranks #5878, in the middle of the long tail, where listing status changes more often than price does, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 10 live BTC order books (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Gate.io, MEXC…). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #5878 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. Coinbase carries it, so BTC is reachable from a regulated US venue — that widens the participant set and tends to keep the quote honest during US hours specifically. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

BTC against its all-time high

BTC is trading within 103017747.5% of its all-time high of $0.0763 (on 2025-12-22). This is price discovery: there is no overhead supply from earlier buyers and no horizontal resistance with any historical basis, because the asset has never traded here before. Support levels drawn from the chart are the only structure that exists, and momentum readings — an overbought oscillator, an exhausted volume profile — carry more information than any level you could draw above spot. That high was set about a year ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

BTC across its historical range

The recorded range runs 54.1x, from $0.00141174 to $0.0763 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

Spot is roughly 55,687,315x above the $0.00141174 low (on 2026-01-25). The practical consequence is a cost-basis distribution skewed by orders of magnitude: a slice of the supply was acquired at a price that rounds to zero against today's, and that supply is price-insensitive on the way up. Rallies in an asset like this do not fail because demand disappears — they fail because early supply meets them.

BTC supply and valuation data

At #5878 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for BTC at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $114 thousand as of 2026-05-13. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BTC is

Bitcoin Base is a base-layer network, so BTC is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. 1,487 tokens tracked on this site are tagged to its ecosystem. That is the fourth-largest such set here, behind Solana's 3,129. The honest way to value a chain at that scale is as infrastructure rent: demand for BTC is derived from how much economic activity chooses to settle there, and because large smart-contract platforms compete for the same developers, these assets trade on ecosystem-share narratives far more than on incremental releases. It is secured by proof of stake, so a portion of the supply is bonded to validators at any moment and the float genuinely available to trade is smaller than the circulating figure implies; unstaking queues, not order books, set how fast that can change.

CoinGecko files BTC under 3 categories, including Meme, Base Ecosystem, Base Meme.

How to set a Bitcoin Base alert that is worth receiving
