  BTC is not considered a security by regulatory authorities. As an open-source cryptocurrency, it operates on a decentralized network and is not controlled by any central authority. This decentralized nature sets BTC apart from securities, which are typically issued and regulated by centralized entities. Therefore, BTC is not subject to the same regulatory framework as securities.
