BLS average prices
We use public BLS Average Price Data series. Each series describes a real unit such as one gallon of milk, one dozen eggs, or one kilowatt-hour of electricity.
Transparent by design
How the index works
Official U.S. price data goes in. Bitcoin satoshi prices come out. Every number keeps its source month, unit, and market-price context.

02 · Bitcoin
One monthly market average
Daily BSV/USD observations are averaged by calendar month. Every item in a given month uses that same Bitcoin price, so comparisons remain consistent.
03 · The conversion
From dollars to satoshis
item sats = (item USD ÷ monthly BSV/USD) × 100,000,000

The headline number
The six-item headline basket
The homepage headline adds one published BLS unit each of eggs, milk, bread, bacon, coffee, and regular gasoline. Only months with all six prices are included. The first complete month is normalized to SPI 100.

This is a transparent reference basket, not the BLS CPI-U expenditure-weighted index. The broader price explorer includes every supported series.
Official vs. live
Official uses the completed BLS month and that month’s average Bitcoin price. Live estimate keeps the latest BLS basket but converts it at the current BSV/USD rate.
