Bitcoin is not a security because it does not represent an ownership stake in a company. Securities are typically investments in a company, thus acting as an investment contract between two or more parties. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a digital currency that operates on a decentralized blockchain platform, and it does not involve any third–party intermediary. Additionally, unlike securities, Bitcoin does not promise future returns or income streams.
