You gotta define "货币/currency" first. So, for example, according to this document from the IRS:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-14-21.pdf
"Virtual currency that has an equivalent value in real currency, or that acts as a
substitute for real currency, is referred to as “convertible” virtual currency. Bitcoin is one
example of a convertible virtual currency. Bitcoin can be digitally traded between users
and can be purchased for, or exchanged into, U.S. dollars, Euros, and other real or
virtual currencies."
So Bitcoin is not a "real" currency, but can be recognized as virtual currency.
Naturally the question to then ask is whether BTC equals Bitcoin. Obviously not.
Therefore, to answer your question, BTC is not a currency.

no, it was way back in the day, with the promise of cheap worldly transactions, but unfortunately blockstream devs took over under government contract and crippled any chance of being a currency. Transaction fees and blocksize are the main reasons it will never be a usable currency. Bsv on the other hand, has unlimited blocksize and 1/4 of a cent transaction fees. BSV is a usable currency.
