Bitcoin

The first and largest cryptocurrency; fixed 21M supply, proof-of-work security, increasingly held as a treasury and ETF asset.

No single covered venue: this asset trades over the counter or across many venues at once — Global crypto venues. We name where it trades rather than pointing at a page that does not exist. The venues we do cover.

+2,540 contracts net long

Non-commercial (speculative) longs minus shorts as of 2026-10-06 — 7 days ago · CFTC Commitments of Traders

A position, not a price, and not a forecast — and never today. The report fixes positions as of a Tuesday and is published the Friday after, so it is three days old when it appears and ten by the time the next one lands. All five of the CFTC’s report families carry the same newest date, so this is the freshest that exists rather than the freshest we fetched. The commercial side is its mirror: every speculative long is somebody else’s short.

Funds tracking this

iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT · Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund FBTC

Covered funds whose stated objective is this index, recorded as a relationship rather than inferred from a similar name. A fund tracking a different index with a similar name — the JPX-Nikkei 400 rather than the Nikkei 225, or an equal-weight variant — is deliberately not listed here.
