Bug ID: 167431
Summary: Add Bitcoin (₿) as an official currency option in
LibreOffice Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I’d like to request support for Bitcoin (₿) as a built-in currency preset in
Calc. Bitcoin is widely used as a unit of account in accounting and personal
finance. Having it as a select-able currency, just like USD ($) or EUR (€),
would help users manage Bitcoin transactions directly in spreadsheets without
needing custom format workarounds.
Technical Details:
Symbol: ₿ = U+20BF = BITCOIN SIGN
Short name: BTC
Long name: Bitcoin
Format: 8 decimal places (smallest unit is a Satoshi, or Sat)
Placement: Symbol should appear before the number, just like $.
Example:
Desired format: ₿0.12345678 or -₿0.12345678
Steps to Reproduce:
In Calc, enter:
0.12345678
Right-click → Format Cells…
Under the Numbers tab, select:
Category: “Currency”
Browse the currency list → Bitcoin (₿) is not available.
Currently I have to format the cell with this code:
"₿" #,##0.00000000;-"₿" #,##0.00000000
Actual Results:
Bitcoin (₿) is not available.
Expected Results:
₿0.12345678 or -₿0.12345678
Available regardless of locale, or as a global option.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I use Bitcoin in Calc often, and think it would be great to have it added as an
official currency, especially since it now is valued more than silver.
Thank you Devs!
