How much is 1 bitcoin in dirhams?

Why the dirham price follows the dollar price

The UAE dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997 at a fixed rate of 3.6725 dirhams per dollar. In practice, the dirham price of Bitcoin is the dollar price multiplied by 3.6725.

The handy result: when Bitcoin rises 2% in dollars, it rises about 2% in dirhams too. Unlike many other currencies, there is no second exchange-rate swing to account for.

Fixed does not mean the dirham price stands still. Bitcoin itself moves all day, every day, and the dirham figure moves with it. What the peg removes is the extra layer of change that comes from a floating exchange rate.

What a peg means for you

A peg is a commitment by a central bank to hold its currency at a set rate against another one. For a reader in the UAE, it makes US-dollar Bitcoin headlines easy to translate. Multiply by 3.67 for a quick estimate, or check this page for the exact figure.

It also means the 1-year chart in dirhams has the same shape as the dollar chart on the home page. Because the peg has held since 1997, a long-run chart in dirhams looks just like one in dollars. The record dirham price so far is AED 463,091.00, set on 6 October 2025.

Fils, dirhams and fractions of a coin

A dirham has 100 fils; a bitcoin has 100,000,000 satoshis. The headline price is for one whole coin, but you can own any slice of one. AED 1 buys about 331 sats at the moment, and the second table converts AED 50, 100, 500 and 5,000. Fils rarely matter at Bitcoin prices, but they show up in small conversions.

Half a bitcoin in dirhams is half the headline; the conversion table lists it alongside 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 BTC. For other amounts, use the converter above or the Bitcoin calculator. The satoshi page explains the smallest unit.

Why the dirham figure can still vary a little

A fixed peg removes most of the currency noise, but not all of the variation between sites. Each price source averages different trades and refreshes at its own pace, so the dirham figure on one site may sit a little above or below another. Our how prices work page explains where this figure comes from. Rounding plays a part too: some sites show whole dirhams, others show fils.
