BTC vs. XBT: What's the Difference?

Though BTC and XBT may look different, they both represent the same thing: Bitcoin. The key difference lies in who uses them and why.

BTC is the ticker symbol most widely adopted by the cryptocurrency community. It's familiar, intuitive, and has become the standard in most crypto exchanges and platforms.

XBT, on the other hand, was introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). According to ISO currency standards, any currency not tied to a specific country is assigned a prefix "X"—similar to how gold and silver are denoted as XAU and XAG, respectively. XBT reflects Bitcoin’s status as a global, decentralized asset not tied to any one nation.

While BTC is more common in everyday use, XBT is often seen in institutional or financial settings where standardized codes are preferred.

In short: BTC and XBT are two sides of the same coin. One is community-born, the other internationally standardized—but both mean Bitcoin. There is no 3rd ticker.

Try it yourself. Google "XBT" and you'll get Bitcoin's price.
