Ah, my apologies for the confusion earlier. To answer your question, Bitcoin currently uses ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) for its digital signatures. However, there is a proposal to switch to Schnorr signatures, which would offer a number of advantages including improved efficiency and security. This proposal is outlined in BIP 340.
