And when you sell at a profit, it has to be declared: work out what you pay in Spanish income tax using the FIFO method the tax office requires. And if you hold more than €50,000 on platforms outside Spain, you also have to file form 721, which is informational and costs nothing.

What is Bitcoin

Bitcoin trades under the ticker BTC and ranks #1 by market capitalisation in the CoinGecko catalogue. It runs on its own blockchain, using the SHA-256 algorithm. Its genesis block is dated 3 January 2009. CoinGecko lists it under smart contract platforms, layer 1 chains and proof of work (PoW).

Project description from CoinGecko

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm. With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control. Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles. Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin. The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Four steps: open an account with a provider authorised to operate in Spain, verify your identity, deposit euros by SEPA transfer and buy Bitcoin in the matching pair. If you plan to hold for a long time, consider withdrawing to a wallet you control: moving your coins to your own custody is not a sale, so it is not taxed. Selling Bitcoin at a profit is, and you can work out how much.

You can buy it with euros on Bit2Me, Bitvavo, Kraken and Coinbase (BTC/EUR, XBT/EUR). Checked on 14/09/2026. We cannot say either way for Bitpanda: it does not publish its list of trading pairs.

Bitcoin price scenarios

Bitcoin trades today at $75,734. Its all-time high was $126,080, reached on October 6, 2025. Going back to that level would mean a rise of 66.5% from the current price, that is, multiplying it by 1.66.

At the other end, its all-time low was $67.81 on July 5, 2013: from there the price has multiplied by 1,117. That path already happened and says nothing about the next one.

Why you will not find a price prediction here

There is no method that reliably predicts the price of a cryptocurrency. It depends on regulation, on adoption, on interest rates, on the decisions of a handful of very large firms and on market sentiment — none of which follows from today's price. A figure twelve months out would not be analysis: it would be an invented number that looks like data.

What you can look at is right above, and it is verifiable: the all-time high and low with their dates, how far away each one is and the recent path. With that you decide for yourself, which is rather more than a figure with nothing behind it gives you.
