Where can I buy Bitcoin?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading at $76,817 right now (market cap ~$1.54T, #1 by rank, 24h volume ~$27B, down ~0.7% today). It's the largest, most widely-listed asset in crypto, so you can buy it on virtually every major exchange. All of these curated exchanges verify live BTC listings. Here's how the biggest ones compare: MEXC stands out on fees — zero maker fee and the lowest taker fee (0.05%) in this set. Binance has the highest trust score and the deepest BTC volume (~122K BTC in 24h), making it the natural default for most buyers. Binance MEXC OKX Bybit Bitget KuCoin Bitcoin One thing to keep in mind: several of these (OKX, Bybit, MEXC) explicitly don't serve US-based users, so if you're in the US you'd want Binance, Bitget, or KuCoin. If you tell me your country, I can narrow this to exchanges that actually serve you.
