The theory of the ground state hyperfine splitting in hydrogen-like lead and lithium-like bismuth is discussed. A method for calculation of the Bohr-Weisskopf correction in lithium-like Bi, based on using the experimental result for the ground state hyperfine splitting in hydrogen-like Bi, is proposed. The ground state hyperfine splitting in 209Bi80+ is calculated to be ΔE = 0.7969(2) eV.
