BTC: Bitcoin's white paper turns 18, and small businesses are still paying for the bailouts it answered

Published: 1 November 2026

BTC market note dated 1 November 2026. This is an independent English brief of a public news item; it does not add trade levels.

What happened

• Eighteen years after Satoshi published the Bitcoin white paper, business owners are still covering the cost of a system built on bailouts, and they can protect part of their surplus by keeping it in bitcoin, argues Onramp CEO Michael Tanguma.

What the figures mean

Independent check on the printed figures (18): confirm the unit, the session or as-of timestamp, and whether the number is a flow, a price, a rate, or a count before treating the headline as a directional call for BTC. This page restates source figures; it does not invent a second dataset.

Why it matters

The item is included because it is substantively about BTC (institutions, policy, flows, security, or network use), not a passing mention.
