Bitcoin runs on SHA-256 algorithm, bitcoins mining by miners through an SHA-256 algorithm, if you transfer some bitcoins from your wallet to seller bitcoin wallet account, those coins immediately not transferred, first those will be formed as a block or equation, miners should solve this block or equation then only bitcoins formed and transfer to opposite person’s wallet.
