About Bitcoin (BTC)
The original cryptocurrency and the largest by market value — often called "digital gold" for its capped 21-million supply.
Like all cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is highly volatile — its price can rise or fall sharply, and it isn't covered by any Australian government guarantee. The figures on this page are live market data for information only, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
How to buy Bitcoin in Australia
The safe way to buy BTC is through an AUSTRAC-registered Australian exchange. In short: choose a registered exchange, verify your ID, deposit AUD (PayID is usually free and fast), then place your order — watching the fee and spread. For anything beyond a small trading balance, move your coins to a wallet you control.
Compare platforms on our Trust Score ranking, check the lowest-fee exchanges, or answer a few questions in the 60-second finder. You can also convert any amount with our live AUD converter.
Bitcoin and Australian tax
To the ATO, BTC is a CGT asset. Selling it, swapping it for another coin, or spending it is generally a capital gains event, and holding for more than 12 months may qualify an individual for the 50% CGT discount. Estimate what you might owe with our crypto tax calculator, and see the full crypto tax guide.
