About Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralised digital currency invented in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Operating on a peer-to-peer network and a public blockchain ledger, it was originally created to allow online payments to bypass traditional financial institutions.

With a programmed supply limit of 21 million coins, this inherent scarcity has seen some investors consider it as a digital store of value. As the largest cryptocurrency – frequently accounting for over 50% of the overall crypto market capitalisation – BTC serves as a foundational asset.

In Australia, individuals can purchase Bitcoin using AUD through PayID transfers on AUSTRAC-registered platforms like Swyftx.

Why investors may choose Bitcoin

Bitcoin offers utility as a scarce, decentralised asset. It allows individuals to diversify their wealth strategy without requiring a deep technical knowledge of blockchain mechanics. For Australians looking to navigate market volatility, automated features like Auto Invest facilitate dollar-cost averaging, enabling consistent, long-term accumulation.
