Bitcoin nodes worldwide

We currently reach 6,534 Bitcoin nodes across 91 countries - led by United States. Every dot on the map is a computer independently enforcing Bitcoin's rules. Measured by our own network crawler.

Every dot is a real, reachable node at its approximate (IP-based) location. The lines are illustrative: they show the network's global interconnection - not specific links, since which node talks to which is not publicly available.

Dots = real nodes · lines = illustrative. The map shows the 6,406 clearnet nodes (IPv4/IPv6); the 128 Tor nodes are counted but have no location and cannot be mapped.

Methodology & data

Our crawler walks the Bitcoin P2P network via protocol handshakes and getaddr requests (every 3h). Clearnet nodes (IPv4/IPv6) are geolocated offline; Tor nodes (.onion) are reached through a Tor proxy and counted too - but they have no geographic location and so do not appear on the map. Only publicly reachable (listening) nodes are counted; nodes behind NAT/firewall cannot be counted directly. Locations are IP-based and approximate. Last updated: Jul 5, 2026, 11:59 AM.

Frequently asked questions

01What is a Bitcoin node?

A node is a computer that holds the full Bitcoin blockchain and independently checks every transaction and block against the consensus rules. More nodes means a more decentralised, censorship-resistant network.

02How many Bitcoin nodes are there?

We currently reach 6,534 nodes across 91 countries. These are the publicly reachable (listening) nodes - the true total is higher, since many nodes behind firewalls accept no inbound connections and cannot be counted directly.

03Where does the data come from?

From our own crawler which - like Bitnodes used to - walks the Bitcoin P2P network: it connects to nodes, asks them over the protocol for their known peers and works through the entire reachable network. Updated every 3 hours.

04What does "reachable" mean?

A node counts as reachable when our crawler could complete a full protocol handshake. Nodes that only make outbound connections (behind NAT/firewall) are not counted.

05Are Tor nodes included?

Yes. We reach Tor nodes (.onion) through a Tor proxy and count them - they are often the majority of reachable nodes. But by design they have no geographic location, so they appear only in the totals and the network-type figures, not on the map. I2P/CJDNS nodes are not covered yet.
