Merged yesterday to the latest development code for the LibreOffice open-source office suite is now recognizing Bitcoin “BTC” as a supported currency for use within the Calc spreadsheet program and elsewhere within this cross-platform free software office suite.
Stemming from a recent bug report requesting Bitcoin as an official currency option within LibreOffice Calc, the necessary additions are now in place so it’s a built-in preset like USD and EUR. Thus easier managing of Bitcoin transactions and the like from within LibreOffice Calc.
This patch to the locale data that is now merged to LibreOffice core is what provides Bitcoin now as an officially recognized currency within this dominant Linux office suite software. Though as we are past the feature freeze for LibreOffice 25.8 that is due out in August, this addition will likely be waiting around until LibreOffice 26.2 in the new year.
