All of the BTC you had on August 1st, 2017 was replicated on the BCH chain when they forked off of the BTC chain.
Depending on your wallet there are mechanisms to separate out your BCH and BTC (Because it's a fork you need to be careful about this, as replay attacks might be possible.)
See your wallet maker for specific advice
- cesarb 9y ago> as replay attacks might be possible BCH added at the eleventh hour a replay protection mechanism, so that's not the biggest issue. The risks are mostly sending BCH to an address which expects only BTC (or vice versa), and allowing less tested wallet software access to your private keys (which is why the recommendation is usually to first send everything to a new BTC wallet, before importing the now spent private keys into the BCH wallet).
