Bitcoin

The bitcoin icon represents the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, a decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that allows users to send and receive bitcoins without the need for intermediaries like banks. The Bitcoin protocol was published in 2009 by an individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin has become a widely recognized and accepted form of currency, with a growing number of businesses and organizations accepting it as payment.

The bitcoin icon appears in various software and platforms related to cryptocurrency and blockchain, such as Coinbase, Binance, and KuCoin. These platforms allow users to buy, sell, and store bitcoins, as well as other cryptocurrencies. The icon is often used to represent the Bitcoin brand and to indicate that a particular service or product is related to Bitcoin.

From a UX perspective, the bitcoin icon communicates a sense of security, decentralization, and freedom. It helps users understand that a particular service or product is related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, and that it may offer a level of anonymity and autonomy. The icon can also be used to indicate that a particular action or transaction is related to Bitcoin, such as sending or receiving bitcoins.

Bitcoin is one of 7,638 icons in Material Design Icons, made by Pictogrammers and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BitcoinIcon to components/icons/mdi-bitcoin.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BitcoinIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Bitcoin icon, or any of 7,638 Material Design Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Bitcoin", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BitcoinIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BitcoinIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Design Icons, Pictogrammers and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
