CM Profile: BitTorrent
Cryptominium Profile. What we have established, measured and written about BTT, and what we have not.
- Measured
- Selling $100,000 on Kraken's order book lost 79.63%, on 4 November 2026.
- Its price, recorded by us every day since 9 August 2026.
- Written, with sources
- Not established
- What an on-chain sale would return on BNB Chain and Ethereum. It trades mostly off-chain there, so we do not measure it on-chain.
- 3 of its chains are not among the 3 we read.
- Whether it can be held without a company. We have no sourced answer yet.
- 4 other questions about what it can do have no written answer. Some may not apply to it.

What changed
Week to 4 NovemberNothing we measure moved much this week: exchange depth on Kraken, trading volume, reported supply and price are all within their usual range.

What it actually costs to sell BTT
Selling $100,000 of BTT into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken BTT/USD | 79.6% | $20,367 | 2026-11-04 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps BTT on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What BitTorrent is
BitTorrent began as a peer-to-peer file transfer protocol conceived by Bram Cohen. The BitTorrent Token (BTT) was created later as a TRC-10 token on the TRON blockchain, intended to extend the original protocol with an economic layer: a way to price and trade the bandwidth, storage, and networking resources that the file-sharing network depends on.
The main mechanism tied to BTT is BitTorrent Speed, a feature where users spend tokens to get faster downloads. In practice, this reframes bandwidth as something that can be bid for with BTT rather than simply shared for free, giving the token a direct use case inside the client software rather than a purely speculative role.
BTT is not the original BitTorrent protocol itself — the protocol predates the token and works without it. It is classified by CoinGecko under categories including Storage, DePIN, and, notably, Alleged SEC Securities, a label worth noting rather than ignoring. The token exists across multiple chains — TRON, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Energi, and BitTorrent's own chain — which means its supply and behavior are not confined to a single ledger, something to account for when checking balances or transfers. The source describes an intended use (paying for speed) but says nothing about governance rights, revenue share, or claims on BitTorrent the company or protocol. Nothing here indicates BTT holders have any stake beyond the token's stated utility function.

Our own measurement · measured 4 November 2026
BTT can be staked to a validator on BitTorrent Chain, which earns rewards and a part in governing the network.

BTT pays the gas fee on BitTorrent Chain, where it plays the part ether plays on Ethereum, and is used to interact with the programs there. Each app is its own code with its own flaws.

BTT is issued on TRON and carried to BitTorrent Chain and other networks by a bridge. The copies bridged from Ethereum and BNB Chain are separate tokens that have to be converted before they can pay fees.

Where BTT lives
On Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain, GoPlus's analysis of each contract is read weekly: whether it has a function to block addresses or pause transfers, and whether an owner holds it. That is GoPlus's reading, not ours. Where a token exists on several chains, one copy's settings say nothing about the original coin.
Always verify a contract address against the project's own site before sending anything. Addresses are shown as published by CoinGecko, not as an endorsement — and identical-looking tokens on other chains are the most common way people lose money here.
