Public bug reported:

Given that the world now has a standard international currency
(Bitcoin), it's probably about time that Libreoffice Calc support as
part of its

To reproduce:
Create new spreadsheet
enter number into a cell
right click on cell
Format Cells
Category ->Currency
Format: 
Currently set to the default to your locale, which is reasonable, however there 
is no option under

CAD $ English (Canada)

for

BTC ฿ English (Canada)

as there probably should be by this point.  Decimal points should
probably be 4, up to a maximum of 8.

I did some digging and found there was a directory of locales at
i18npool/source/localedata/data/ which seems to be where currency data
is stored but since I can't build from source it's difficult to really
get a full understanding of what's actually happening.

  <LC_CURRENCY>
    <Currency default="false" usedInCompatibleFormatCodes="true">
      <CurrencyID>BTC</CurrencyID>
      <CurrencySymbol>฿</CurrencySymbol>
      <BankSymbol>BTC</BankSymbol>
      <CurrencyName>Bitcoin</CurrencyName>
      <DecimalPlaces>8</DecimalPlaces>
    </Currency>
  </LC_CURRENCY>

may need to be inserted into all locales, as Bitcoin is an international
currency it should be an option in all locales.
