What Is the Strike Price of an Option?

The strike price, or exercise price, is the predetermined price at which the holder of an option can buy (call option) or sell (put option) the underlying cryptocurrency. This price is fixed when the option contract is initiated.

It is the critical benchmark used to determine if the option is "in-the-money" and to calculate the intrinsic value upon exercise.
