Bitcoin on Base
BTCB Rank #2945Price chart
What is Bitcoin on Base?
Overview
Bitcoin on Base combines Bitcoin's fixed supply model with modern blockchain infrastructure on Base. The token targets crypto holders seeking a scarce asset that generates yield through mining rewards. Holdings of 2,400+ BTCB tokens qualify accounts for quarterly distributions of cbBTC earned from real Bitcoin mining operations.
How it works
BTCB operates on the Base blockchain. The protocol converts Bitcoin mining rewards into Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin and distributes them periodically to eligible token holders. This mechanism transforms passive holdings into an active earning mechanism generating Bitcoin exposure over time.
Token and supply
BTCB has a maximum supply of 21 million tokens, mirroring Bitcoin's cap. An initial burn removed approximately 5.16 million tokens to establish scarcity. Ongoing buyback and burn mechanisms reduce circulating supply, aligning incentives with long-term token holders.
