Background

What is Bitcoin?

By PlatformCrypto.eu editorial team · checked on

Bitcoin is a digital currency that works without a central bank or company in charge. Every payment is recorded on a public ledger, the blockchain, which a network of independent computers keeps in sync. Its creator, who used the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, described the system in a short white paper, and the network produced its first block on 3 January 2009.

New bitcoin come from mining. Computers compete to add the next block of transactions, and the winner collects newly created coins plus the fees paid by the people sending money. The number of new coins per block is cut in half at fixed intervals, so issuance slows down step by step until it stops at 21 million bitcoin in total.

People use bitcoin to send value across borders without a bank in between, and many simply hold it as a scarce digital asset. Because one bitcoin divides into 100 million satoshis, you can buy a small slice for a few euros.

There is no company or central bank that steadies its value. The euro price is set only by supply and demand, and it can climb or drop steeply within a single day.

In four steps

How to buy Bitcoin

  1. Choose a platform

    At the top you can see where your amount buys the most BTC, with every fee included.

  2. Open an account

    Sign up and verify your identity. Licensed platforms are required to check who you are; it usually takes a few minutes.

  3. Add euros

    For example by SEPA bank transfer or by card. Check the deposit fee on the platform first: it differs per method.

  4. Buy BTC

    Enter the amount and confirm. Before you do, check the fee and the price the platform shows you.

Questions about Bitcoin

How much is 1 Bitcoin worth right now?

On 12 October 2026 at 19:25 CEST, 1 BTC was worth €73,896.75 on average: the median mid-market price on 7 platforms. The price changes all the time, and what you pay on a platform also depends on its fees.

Do you have to buy a whole bitcoin?

No. A bitcoin can be split into eight decimal places, so one bitcoin equals 100,000,000 satoshis, the smallest unit. You can spend €100, or less, and receive a fraction of a coin. Each platform sets its own minimum order size.

How do you buy bitcoin in Europe?

You need an account with a crypto-asset service provider that holds a licence under MiCA, the EU's crypto regulation. A licence granted in one member state lets the platform serve customers across the EU, so where the company is based matters less than whether it is authorised. Our comparison only includes platforms we have checked in ESMA's register; see the full list on our page about [MiCA-licensed crypto exchanges](/mica-licensed-crypto-exchanges).

What fees do you pay when you buy bitcoin?

Usually three things: a trading fee, the price difference or markup built into the price you get, and sometimes a fee for your payment method, such as a card surcharge. Our comparison counts all three and ranks platforms by how much BTC you end up with. Sending bitcoin to your own wallet later costs a separate withdrawal fee, which is not part of the comparison.

How many bitcoins can there ever be?

No more than 21 million. A new block is added roughly every ten minutes, and the reward for it halves every 210,000 blocks, which works out at about once every four years. Today a block pays 3.125 BTC in new coins plus transaction fees. When the reward reaches zero, no new bitcoin will be created.

Is bitcoin regulated under MiCA?

Bitcoin has no company or person behind it that issues the coin, and MiCA's rules for issuers do not apply to crypto-assets without an identifiable issuer. The platforms that sell bitcoin are regulated, though: since 1 July 2026 at the latest, they need a MiCA authorisation to serve customers in the EU. MiCA does not protect you against a fall in the bitcoin price.
