DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.bitcoin Domain Names

Application stage

The .bitcoin string is publicly associated with a community-style new gTLD application, positioning it as a name for projects and identities connected with Bitcoin. It is not listed in the IANA root zone, so it is not a live delegated TLD at present. Public reporting identifies Wiz as the applicant associated with the string.
