Bitcoin traded at $82,864 on DeFiLlama, up 0.11% over 24 hours and 1.55% over seven days, though still down 3.23% over 30 days and 23.62% over the year. That leaves it 34.35% below its all-time high of $126,080. Sentiment has firmed, with the Fear and Greed index at 68, in Greed territory, against 53 a week ago. CoinDesk reports that Bitcoin gave back its run at $85,000 as Tesla and Meta failed to calm AI nerves, which fits a session that stalled below that level. US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in a net $29.9 million on 20 October, lifting the five-day total to $209.5 million. Holdings are concentrated: ETFs hold about 1.49 million BTC, with iShares Bitcoin Trust the largest at roughly 811,478 BTC, while public companies hold 1.22 million, led by Strategy at 848,517. On our figures, Bitcoin's dominance sits at 59.61%. The network is at block 972,565, with the next difficulty adjustment expected to move 4.94%.

Questions

Bitcoin price, halving and ETF questions

What is the Bitcoin price today?

Bitcoin was at $82,806 when this page last refreshed at 06:24 BST, down 0.13% over 24 hours, using DeFiLlama's figure. It's refreshed every five minutes. If CoinGecko doesn't answer we try Binance, then DeFiLlama, so check the source printed beside the time on the price card. The charts are a bit different: they're drawn from daily closes, so for most of the day they'll trail the live number slightly.

When is the next Bitcoin halving?

Our current estimate is 17 Mar 2028, at block 1,050,000, which is 77,426 blocks on from where the chain is now. It's a rough date. We take the block height from mempool.space and assume blocks keep coming at the recent pace of about 9.5 minutes each, and that pace shifts whenever miners plug machines in or switch them off, so expect the date to wander by a day or two. When it does arrive, the reward for each new block drops from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC.

How can I get Bitcoin exposure without holding coins myself?

The routes we track are US spot ETFs, which hold 1,487,109 BTC between them, shares in the 153 listed companies that keep Bitcoin on their balance sheets, and mining shares. They behave quite differently, because an ETF follows the price less its fees, whereas a treasury company's shares also move with its debt and with how many new shares it issues. Most UK brokers don't offer the US-listed ETFs to retail customers, which is why our ETF tracker also covers the exchange-traded products listed in London and Europe.

Compare the ways in

What do the ETF flow figures show?

Each one is the net money that went into or out of the US spot Bitcoin funds on a single trading day, in US dollars, once new shares created and old ones redeemed are netted off. On 20 Oct 2026 the total was +$29.9m, and over the last five trading days it came to +$209.4m. We take the numbers from Bitbo, which publishes them after each US session, so the latest day shown is normally the previous trading day.
