Published and reviewed: 2 October 2026.

Definition: BTC is the widely used ticker symbol for bitcoin, the native monetary asset of the Bitcoin network.

The ticker is a market and interface convention; the Bitcoin protocol itself operates with integer units ultimately divisible into satoshis.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval Wallet can display and receive BTC on the Bitcoin network through its Bitcoin account support.

Important: Do not assume every token named 'BTC' on another chain is native Bitcoin; wrapped or bridged assets have different risk and network properties.
