In 1939 it was annexed by the Soviet Union. In 1940 it became an urban-type settlement. Bitkiv was occupied by German troops during World War II from 1941 to 1944, part of the District of Galicia. Since 2015, the head of the village council has been Vasyl Yosypovych Vintonyak. Until 26 January 2024, Bytkiv was designated urban-type settlement.
