  Well, the number of Bitcoin nodes is constantly changing due to various factors. However, it's estimated that there are around 10,000 to 11,000 active nodes globally. Keep in mind that not all nodes are equal in terms of their capabilities and roles within the network. Some nodes are full nodes, while others are lightweight nodes that rely on full nodes for information.

  According to BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, the current estimate for the number of Bitcoin nodes worldwide is around 10,000 to 11,000. These nodes are spread across different countries and continents, contributing to the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network. It's important to note that the number of nodes can fluctuate over time as new nodes join the network and existing nodes go offline.
