Understanding the Difference Between Bitcoin and Bitcoin.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is not a company, just like gold isn't. There is no official website that represents Bitcoin (BTC), as it is a decentralized cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin.com is a company that offers tools and services to help people engage with cryptocurrency, including buying, sending, swapping, earning rewards, staking, and more. Since 2015, we've been assisting newcomers in understanding crypto through easy-to-follow educational resources, up-to-date news, and simple tools for buying, selling, trading, and managing cryptocurrencies.

We offer the Bitcoin.com Wallet app, trusted by millions, which makes it easy to send, receive, buy, sell, and trade popular cryptocurrencies.

However, Bitcoin.com does not control Bitcoin in any way. We don't send, receive, or store Bitcoin. We simply provide the tools to manage your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Our website exists to offer information.

Bitcoin.com does not handle Bitcoin transactions. Once you send a Bitcoin transaction, it cannot be reversed or refunded. Bitcoin operates on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, meaning transactions happen directly between you and the recipient without any third-party involvement.
