About Bitcoin
What you are buying
Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency: a digital money that runs on a public network of computers instead of a bank, with a supply capped at 21 million coins written into its code. Since it launched in January 2009 it has become the asset most people mean when they say crypto, held by individuals, companies, and funds as a long-term store of value and used to move money anywhere in the world without a bank in the middle.
People buy Bitcoin for different reasons: as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement, as a long-term investment, as a way to hold savings outside the banking system, or to send value across borders in minutes. Whatever the reason, the mechanics are the same. You buy an amount, large or small, and it is delivered to a wallet whose keys only you hold.
Customers have bought Bitcoin from Coin Nerds, and sold it back to us, since 2018, online and across branch counters. Every purchase settles at the live market rate you see on this page and is delivered to your own wallet within minutes of your payment clearing. Nothing is held for you, and there is no exchange balance to worry about.
The full Bitcoin guide- Ticker
- BTC. One bitcoin divides into 100,000,000 satoshis (sats), so you can buy any fraction of a coin.
- Launched
- January 2009, by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The network has run continuously since.
- Supply
- Capped at 21 million coins by the protocol. Most are already in circulation; the rest are issued gradually to miners.
- Issuance
- New coins enter through mining roughly every 10 minutes, and the reward halves about every four years (most recently in April 2024).
- Consensus
- Proof of work: miners spend energy to secure the ledger, which is what makes past transactions practically impossible to reverse.
- Custody
- You hold Bitcoin with a private key. Coin Nerds delivers to the wallet address you provide, so the keys are yours from the first minute.

Why the GBP to BTC rate moves
Bitcoin trades continuously against the dollar and against every other currency, so the GBP to BTC figure on this page changes second to second with the market. Coin Nerds quotes from the live market rather than a rate set once a day, which is why the number here moves while you read. The figure you accept in the widget is the figure your order settles at.

The same conversion runs across the counter at a Coin Nerds branch, including Mississauga (Ontario, Canada), Salt Lake City (Utah, United States), Lahore (Pakistan).

In every other major city, our agents arrange in-person cash trades over chat or by phone, in any amount, at any time.
Large GBP to BTC conversions
Orders of $50,000 and above go through the OTC desk, where the price is locked once it is quoted rather than moving while the order fills, and the desk is reachable over chat, phone, and email. Below that, the widget and the app handle any size from the $100 CAD minimum up.
