The components a price is made of, computed live from public data, with every formula printed next to its number. Check any of it yourself against the open JSON.
Hashrates across different algorithms cannot be compared raw, so we compare what can be: dollars spent per day securing each ledger, and growth indexed from the same starting line. Both live, both reproducible.

The Bitcoin-family scoreboard, on Bitcoin’s own axis: each chain’s share of BTC’s difficulty. BTX per the btxprice model: W × BTX MatMul rate ÷ BTC hash rate. SHA-256 and Scrypt chains: hashrate share of BTC, which miner arbitrage pins to revenue share.

Apples to apples: the dollars each network spends daily on its own defense. Subsidy × live price for the SHA and Scrypt chains; GPUs × market rent for BTX.
BTX price and market cap use the live model price from the open btxprice.com valuation model, which anchors BTX MatMul work to Bitcoin’s market value per unit of network security. The last column is the one that separates BTX from the field: whose security is funded by selling new coins, and whose is funded from outside the asset entirely.
| Asset | Price | Market cap | Security $/day | What funds it |

Formulas: security spend = daily block subsidy × live price (BTC 450/day, BCH 450/day, BSV 450/day, LTC 3,600/day) and card-equivalents × $0.50/GPU/hr × 24 for BTX. Sources: this node, CoinGecko, btxprice.com. Fee revenue excluded for all chains, which is conservative against BTX’s case.
The number that matters to the people producing the supply. On a growing network, the coin you sell today costs more to mine back next week; TMC prices that reality. Sell below it and you are losing BTX-denominated ground even when the spreadsheet says profit. Nobody else publishes this.
Formulas: Break-even = floor. TMC = floor × (1 + weekly growth), the true cost of a coin you must replace one week out; on a fast-growing network this runs several times the floor, and that is the point. Hold-50 = 2 × TMC: mine two coins, sell one at this price and it pays for both; the one you keep costs you nothing. General rule: price needed = cost ÷ share you keep. Miners typically target holding at least half. Your personal TMC, with your own hardware in it, lives on the mining desk.
What it costs the whole network to produce 1 BTX right now, priced across the real GPU rent market. The market can trade below production cost; it rarely lives there.
Formula: cards needed = network nps ÷ 25,000 per card. Cost per day = cards × rent × 24. Floor = cost per day ÷ (960 blocks × emission). Band: $0.45 cheap (the absolute cheapest 5090 on the market), $0.50 base, $0.60 high.
Two questions every buyer should ask and no one else answers. True float: of all the BTX that exists, how much could actually be bought? Coins parked in provable vault structures are not for sale at any nearby price, so we subtract them; what remains is the real shelf. A small shelf means small money moves price violently, in both directions. Days to absorb: how many days of fresh mining does it take to equal that entire shelf? A small number means new supply floods the market fast and sellers set the price; a large number means the shelf is scarce relative to new supply and buyers must compete for it.
Formulas: True float v1 = visible supply − identical-balance vault clusters (single entities holding split, unmoved positions); conservative on purpose, it removes only what the chain itself proves is parked. Days-to-absorb = true float ÷ daily emission.
The institutional security question, answered in rent. What it would cost to point a network-sized fleet at BTX, priced at open-market GPU rates.
Formula: card-equivalents = network nps ÷ 25,000. Attack cost = cards × $0.50 × hours. Ignores the attacker’s hardest problem, actually sourcing that many GPUs at once.

How to read it: take a slice of BTC’s total market value and spread it across BTX’s tiny visible supply of coins. BTC has 20.5M coins; BTX has under 3M, so even a dust-sized slice of BTC’s value is a large per-coin number. That is the point: small supply means small capital flows move price violently, both directions. Formula: implied $/BTX = (BTC market cap × scenario %) ÷ BTX visible supply. A mapping, not a prediction.
