Price data

price_history

Our own price database holds about 1.52 million records at 5-minute resolution, reaching back continuously to 1 January 2012. The current live price is added every 30 seconds from Coinbase.

Honest note on euro values: the US-dollar prices are real historical data. Euro values before roughly 2024 are converted from the USD price at a reference rate - a point-in-time EUR/USD exchange rate is not available for the deep history. For the more recent past the euro values reflect the actual exchange rate.

On-chain transfers

large_transactions

We track large on-chain transfers of 100 BTC or more. This data has been captured continuously since October 2025 from mempool.space block data - with every new block, roughly every 10 minutes. These are actual movements on the Bitcoin blockchain, not estimates.

Live network data

These figures come from established public services; we cache them briefly and re-serve them. That keeps the displays fast and the providers unstrained. Every source is named:

mempool.space

Blocks & block height, difficulty, hashrate, mempool size, transaction fees and Lightning statistics.

Cached, refreshed every 30-60 seconds.

CoinGecko

Market capitalisation, trading volume plus all-time high (ATH) and all-time low (ATL).

Cached, market data every 5 minutes, history hourly.

Coinbase

Exchange rates (BTC → USD/EUR) - our primary source for the live price.

Polled and stored every 30 seconds.

alternative.me

Fear & Greed Index - a market-sentiment barometer.

Cached, updated daily.

Computed metrics

Some metrics we compute ourselves from the current block height - with no external licence or third party. These include circulating supply, the share of coins already mined (% mined), the stock-to-flow ratio and energy per BTC. The formulas are publicly known and derive directly from block height.

Bitcoin is volatile, and you can lose some or all of the capital you commit. Do not make financial decisions based on this site alone - do your own research and, where appropriate, seek independent, qualified advice.
