Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$be an elliptic curve and let $p$be an odd prime of good reduction for $E$. Let $K$be an imaginary quadratic field satisfying the classical Heegner hypothesis and in which $p$splits. The goal of this paper is two-fold: (1) we formulate a $p$-adic BSD conjecture for the $p$-adic $L$-function $L_{\mathfrak{p}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}$introduced by Bertolini–Darmon–Prasanna [Duke Math. J. 162 (2013), pp. 1033–1148]; and (2) for an algebraic analogue $F_{\stackrel{¯<\#comment/>}{\mathfrak{p}}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}$of $L_{\mathfrak{p}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}$, we show that the “leading coefficient” part of our conjecture holds, and that the “order of vanishing” part follows from the expected “maximal non-degeneracy” of an anticyclotomic $p$-adic height. In particular, when the Iwasawa–Greenberg Main Conjecture $\left(F_{\stackrel{¯<\#comment/>}{\mathfrak{p}}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}\right)=\left(L_{\mathfrak{p}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}\right)$is known, our results determine the leading coefficient of $L_{\mathfrak{p}}^{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{P}}$at $T=0$up to a $p$-adic unit. Moreover, by adapting the approach of Burungale–Castella–Kim [Algebra Number Theory 15 (2021), pp. 1627–1653], we prove the main conjecture for supersingular primes $p$under mild hypotheses. In the $p$-ordinary case, and under some additional hypotheses, similar results were obtained by Agboola–Castella [J. Théor. Nombres Bordeaux 33 (2021), pp 629–658], but our method is new and completely independent from theirs, and apply to all good primes. 

For an elliptic curve, we study how many Selmer groups are cotorsion over the anti-cyclotomic ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$-extension as one varies the prime $p$or the quadratic imaginary field in question.
