Bitcoin on Base BTCB

What BTCB actually is on-chain

Bitcoin on Base is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0x0c41f1fc9022feb69af6dc666abfe73c9ffda7ce. That address, not the ticker BTCB, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BTCB, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, BTCB is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BTCB 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.

For BTCB the project publishes an active account as @BTC_On_Base. 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 BTCB sits in the market

Bitcoin on Base ranks #2668, in the top of the long tail, just below the band most screeners still cover, 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.

We are not currently receiving a live BTCB order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. BTCB is a Base asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Aerodrome and Uniswap pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

BTCB against its all-time high

Bitcoin on Base's record high is $0.9779, set on 2024-12-18. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live BTCB price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

BTCB across its historical range

The recorded range runs 11.9x, from $0.0819 to $0.9779 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

The record low of $0.0819 was printed on 2026-03-13 — about a year ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

BTCB supply and valuation data

Supply figures for BTCB are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $1.6 million as of 2026-05-12. That sits around the middle of the distribution — roughly half the assets tracked here carry a smaller fully diluted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BTCB is

Bitcoin on Base is a base-layer network, so BTCB 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 BTCB 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 BTCB under 4 categories, including Meme, Base Ecosystem, Made in USA, Base Native. Worth flagging from the metadata: BTCB is tagged as US-originated.
