**Bitcoin.com** is a [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) company that operates an all-in-one platform for buying, selling, trading, storing, and earning [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and other [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets). The company describes itself as _"The home of Bitcoin. For everyone."_ and states that it has served as a gateway to the cryptocurrency economy since 2015, operating across more than 180 countries.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) 

Its mission is to create more economic freedom in the world, which it defines as the ability to make choices with respect to one's personal resources unencumbered by trusted third parties, borders, or lack of access.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​

The company's product suite centers on a self-custodial mobile wallet, a multi-party-computation account service, a [decentralized exchange](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange), and a widely read news publication.  [\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) 

## Mission & Philosophy

Bitcoin.com frames its business around the concept of economic freedom, which it considers the foundation of peace and prosperity and which it argues reduces suffering when expanded.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4) 

The company states that it empowers people to fully own and freely manage their finances through self-custody, educates people about their rights to financial independence, ownership, and privacy, and seeks to provide people worldwide with access to a borderless, decentralized financial system.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​

In keeping with this philosophy, the company emphasizes user control of private keys across its products. It contrasts self-custodial wallets, in which the user holds sole control of the keys, with arrangements in which a third party can freeze or spend funds, noting that with self-custody "no third party can freeze or spend your funds."[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) 

The company also distinguishes buying bitcoin directly — in which the purchaser receives the actual asset and can self-custody it — from buying regulated funds such as spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), where the buyer owns a fund unit that, in the company's words, "cannot be sent, spent, or held in your own wallet."[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

Bitcoin.com states that it is certified under ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management, which it presents as evidence of its commitment to protecting its own data and that of its clients.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4) The company has also publicly invited job applicants, displaying a "We're hiring" statement directed at people who identify with its mission.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​

## Products and Services

Bitcoin.com offers a connected set of products for acquiring, holding, trading, and earning [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), built around self-custody and marketed to newcomers as well as experienced users.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​

### Wallet and Account

The Bitcoin.com Wallet is a free, self-custodial wallet for iOS and Android. The company describes it as a multichain mobile application, "trusted by millions," that lets users buy, sell, trade, earn, use, and learn about Bitcoin and other [cryptocurrencies](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), and characterizes it as including "every feature you need for economic freedom."[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4) 

The company explains the underlying custody model by stating that a Bitcoin wallet stores the private keys that prove ownership of coins, while the coins themselves always remain on the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain).[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

The Bitcoin.com Account is a complementary service that lets users manage cryptocurrency from any device or browser through a dashboard to buy, sell, and trade. The company states that the account is protected by multi-party computation (MPC) technology — a cryptographic method that splits control of keys across multiple parties — and markets it with the assurance of "no worries about losing a single private key."[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

### Buying, Selling, and Fees

Bitcoin.com provides buy-and-sell functionality with what it describes as quick setup, flexible payments, and low fees, with fees shown up front before a transaction is confirmed.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) 

The company explains that a user can buy bitcoin by choosing an amount and paying with a card or bank transfer, after which the BTC is received in the user's wallet; it notes that moving coins on-chain incurs a small Bitcoin network fee that is separate from the purchase fee. Using a hypothetical example, the company states that a $100 purchase yields exactly $100 worth of bitcoin minus the disclosed fee, credited in satoshis.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) Users who hold coins in the wallet app can sell directly from the app and receive proceeds to a bank account or card.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

### Verse DEX and Earning

Verse DEX is the company's [decentralized exchange](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange), on which the company states users can trade [cryptocurrencies](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) "anonymously, securely, and with low fees." The platform is tied to the VERSE token, Bitcoin.com's official ecosystem token. The company states that users can earn yield by providing liquidity to the exchange, by depositing tokens in Verse Farms, and by [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) VERSE.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4) Beyond Verse, the broader platform includes earning products grouped under "Earn & grow," along with yield, rewards, and sign-up bonuses, and a rewards program in which users complete quests to earn.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

The platform also offers gaming through what the company describes as "provably fair games and top-rated crypto casinos," and an "Index of all things crypto" that reviews exchanges, crypto cards, iGaming sites, and crypto-friendly businesses.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

## News and Education

Bitcoin.com News is the company's publication, which it describes as one of the most read crypto news outlets. The company states that it publishes daily and offers timely and objective news content relevant to the crypto industry, along with price forecasts, expert analytics, and insights into [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), regulation, finance, and economics.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4)​[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) 

Headlines carried under the news section have covered macroeconomic and industry topics, including a report that the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield hit 5.47% — its highest level since 2002 — under the headline "Bond Yields Hit a 24-Year High: Schiff, Ackman, Hayes Can't Agree Why," as well as coverage of a [Bitget](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitget) hack in which $157 million in stolen [XRP](https://iq.wiki/wiki/xrp) sat in wallets that no one could freeze, a piece on zero-knowledge cryptography in the context of Amazon and Meta, and a report that bitcoin miner [Hive](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hive) escalated a Swedish value-added-tax (VAT) dispute to the European Commission.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

Alongside the news operation, the company runs a Learning Center providing educational content that ranges from the basic value proposition of cryptocurrency and how to acquire, hold, and use it safely, through to technologies, applications, and market insights aimed at enthusiasts.[\[2\]](#cite-id-78o3xyubd4) 

The company's own explanatory material covers the fundamentals of Bitcoin: that it was released in 2009 by the pseudonymous [Satoshi Nakamoto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/satoshi-nakamoto), that only 21 million bitcoin will ever exist, and that each bitcoin divides into 100 million units called satoshis. It explains that miners group transactions into [blocks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block), compete to confirm them, secure the network, and release new bitcoin on a fixed schedule, and that every transaction is broadcast to a worldwide network and recorded on a [public ledger](https://iq.wiki/wiki/public-ledger) called the blockchain, where the distribution of copies across thousands of participants prevents anyone from quietly rewriting past transactions.[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7) The company states that the Bitcoin network has run continuously since 2009 and "has never been hacked."[\[1\]](#cite-id-tti7k1j7o7)​

The Learning Center has also addressed newer uses of the Bitcoin protocol, publishing explanatory material on Ordinals and inscriptions, through which a single satoshi can carry an image, text, audio, code, or video, and describing how satoshis are tracked, inscribed, and transferred in what the company calls a new Bitcoin-native market.[\[3\]](#cite-id-0tfpls83o2) On its public channels, the company has invited its audience to vote on future educational topics, including prediction markets, real-world assets (RWAs), and decentralized physical infrastructure networks ([DePIN](https://iq.wiki/wiki/depin)).[\[3\]](#cite-id-0tfpls83o2)​
