How the USD to BTC conversion works
Unlike meters or kilograms, a cryptocurrency has no fixed conversion factor: its price in dollars is set continuously by buyers and sellers on exchanges. This page fetches the current Bitcoin price from CoinGecko, an aggregator that averages prices across hundreds of markets, and then applies it to your amount:
The rate you see is the one in force when the page loaded. If you leave the tab open for a while, reload it before relying on the figure.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the USD to BTC rate come from?
The page requests the current Bitcoin price in US dollars from the public CoinGecko API when it loads, then converts your amount locally in the browser. Reload the page to fetch a fresh rate.
Why is the result different from my exchange?
Every exchange quotes its own price, and the amount you actually receive also depends on the spread and on trading or network fees. Treat this converter as a reference price, not as an executable quote.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is a currency conversion tool. Bitcoin is volatile and its price can move sharply within minutes; do your own research before buying, selling or transferring crypto.
