BitTorrent is a decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol and client ecosystem originally co-founded by Bram Cohen and Ashwin Navin, and acquired by TRON Foundation in 2018 per TechCrunch. BitTorrent's Twitter Score is 53 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #16,622 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
BitTorrent operates through affiliated entities including BitTorrent Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd., Rainberry Inc., and BTTC DAO, collectively maintaining what the company describes as the largest decentralized P2P communications protocol for distributing data and large files. BitTorrent has also received backing from Accel. The BTT token, a TRC-20 utility token, powers services including BitTorrent Speed and BitTorrent File System, forming a token-based economy around networking, bandwidth, and storage resources introduced by the TRON Foundation and BitTorrent Foundation.
BitTorrent carries notable legal exposure: the SEC filed a complaint alleging unregistered offers and sales of TRX and BTT crypto asset securities against Justin Sun, TRON Foundation Limited, BitTorrent Foundation Ltd., and Rainberry Inc. That case remains a significant regulatory matter for the ecosystem. BitTorrent has been mentioned by 509 accounts a total of 2,610 times, and the account has published 13,826 posts and has 589,851 followers as of August 2026.
