A custodian of history
Bitcoin began as an idea, grew into a movement, and became a revolution. BIT preserves that path so we can carry it forward because only by learning from the past can we truly shape the future.
Why BIT Exists
Bitcoin began as a single line of code – an idea quietly shared on a mailing list that sparked revolutions in technology, finance and human thought. Beyond the headlines, price charts and market cycles lies a profound cultural shift, one that invites us to reconsider value, trust power, and the nature of money itself.
BIT exists to explore that shift, not through technical whitepapers or financial analysis, but through art, expression and imagination.
Just as Bitcoin itself is the product of collaboration, built openly by contributors around the world, this book mirrors that spirit of collective creativity and shared vision.
This is not a definitive history. It is not the final word. Rather, it is a curated moment in time. A richly artistic glimpse into an unfolding story, with new chapters written every day.

The bitcoin timeline
History is made of moments, and Bitcoin’s journey is remembered here through 128 carefully chosen events that tell its story. From its cypherpunk roots and the mavericks who pushed it forward, to the darker times that tested its resilience, and the memes that carried it into culture.
What makes this timeline unique are the artists who bring it to life. Painters, illustrators, photographers, digital creators, and generative coders each add their vision – creating a mosaic of styles that captures Bitcoin’s evolution as no single voice could.
Collected in a limited-edition volume, these works form a lasting archive for future generations to learn the origin story.
The ultimate Bitcoin Art Book
Archival-quality artworks
128 pieces by world leading artists, printed on fine art papers chosen to last for generations. Selected spreads are enhanced with specialty techniques including metallic foils, UV varnish, mirror papers, embossing, and custom inks.
Layflat design
Crafted with seamless layflat binding, the book opens flat, allowing artworks to extend across the full spread without interruption. The design creates an immersive visual experience while preserving the integrity of the art.
Bull leather casing
Each edition is cased in premium bull leather, selected for its durability and natural character. Dyed in Bitcoin’s signature orange and finished with embossing, it embodies the strength of the Bitcoin bull in both form and symbolism.
Book stand
A custom-built steel centrepiece, crafted for the Collectors’ Edition and finished in a deep ceramic black coating. Engineered for the perfect presentation, every line, surface, and angle has been considered to position the book at its best, whether open to a spread or closed in repose. Designed to command presence in a living room, office, or gallery, it turns the book into a permanent showcase.
Etched into the base is the complete Bitcoin whitepaper, Satoshi’s words permanently inscribed in steel as the foundation for the art it holds. The combination of weight, finish, and form ensures the stand is as enduring as the story it supports.
It is built to endure, presenting the book as both artwork and archive.
RevElations
Revelations is the pocket-sized companion to BIT. It connects each artwork to the history it represents. Where the art captures Bitcoin’s defining moments, Revelations anchors them in fact and memory.
Stories from behind the work
The research draws on first-hand accounts from more than 100 early Bitcoiners, including Martti Malmi, Theymos, Trace Mayer, Samson Mow, Tim Draper, and Jameson Lopp. Their voices ensure accuracy while adding the personal perspective of those who helped shape events.
Designed as a companion
Created to be read alongside the artbook, Revelations offers the feel of a gallery visit: seeing the work and learning the story behind it. Produced in a handheld bible format, printed on bible paper, leather bound, and finished with gold foiling, it is a book to be opened, studied, and returned to often.
Connected by code
The full Bitcoin source code is printed across the edition, with each copy carrying its own portion. Collectors form a remarkable group, including many of the Bitcoiners who helped shape its journey. A network bound not just by art, but by the code that started it all.
A rare art collection rooted in Bitcoin
Each copy of BIT is meticulously produced, the result of over 300 contributors of artists, researchers, designers, printers, and craftspeople. Together they have created a work that unites art, history, and Bitcoin in a form built to endure.
