# BTC

## Definition

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

## What it means in practice

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.
