Bitcoin Gold BTG

What BTG actually is on-chain

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker BTG: Openverse Network (BNB Chain, 0x4C90…374e). 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 BTG the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @bitcoingold. 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 BTG sits in the market

At #1219, Bitcoin Gold is in the middle of the small-cap band. Books at this depth are thin enough that one sizeable market order can move the printed price by several percent and retrace within minutes, which is precisely why a single static price target makes a poor trigger — you want a condition that survives one wick. Availability is concentrated in a handful of venues and volume-based delisting is a live risk rather than a theoretical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 1 live BTG order book (Gate.io). That is thinner coverage than a #1219 ranking would normally imply — a move on one of these books is close to the whole market for BTG, with no deep second venue to arbitrage it back. None of the books we see for BTG are regulated US or Korean venues, so this is an offshore-quoted asset — availability, and the price itself, depend on which jurisdiction you trade from.

BTG against its all-time high

BTG is more than 95% below its all-time high of $456.25 (on 2017-12-20) — a 693x gap. At this point the record has essentially no analytical value: it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and often a different market cycle. The useful reference for BTG is the downside, not the peak, so the range section below matters more than this one. It was set 9 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

BTG across its historical range

BTG has traded across a 3,727x range, between $0.1224 and $456.25. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

BTG trades roughly 5.37x above its record low of $0.1224 (on 2025-03-24). Recovery from the bottom has been limited, which means the low is still close enough to function as a real reference level rather than a historical footnote.

BTG supply and valuation data

Bitcoin Gold sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for BTG but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $8.3 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation.

What kind of asset BTG is

Bitcoin Gold is a base-layer network, so BTG is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. Value accrual runs through validator economics and through whatever activity settles on the chain itself. Because it is secured by proof of work, new BTG arrives on a fixed schedule and is paid to miners who carry real energy costs — a structural, price-insensitive source of sell pressure that proof-of-stake chains do not have.

CoinGecko files BTG under 3 categories, including Bitcoin Fork, Proof of Work (PoW).
