Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT) | Contract Overview

Each Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT) contract equals 0.1 BTC. If Bitcoin is trading at $60,000, one MBT contract has a notional value of $6,000. This smaller sizing allows traders to scale positions more precisely compared to the standard 5 BTC Bitcoin futures contract.

The minimum tick size for MBT futures is $5 per Bitcoin, which equals $0.50 per contract (since the contract represents 0.1 BTC). A $100 move in Bitcoin equals $10 per MBT contract. This structure makes profit and loss calculations straightforward.
