    We compute the matching coefficient between the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the non-relativistic QCD ( NRQCD) for the flavor-changing scalar current involving the heavy charm and bottom quark, up to the three-loop order within the NRQCD factorization. For the first time, we obtain the analytical expressions for the three-loop renormalization constant Z~s(x,Rf)\tilde{Z}_s(x,R_f) and the corresponding anomalous dimension γ~s(x,Rf)\tilde{\gamma}_s(x,R_f) for the NRQCD scalar current with the two heavy bottom and charm quark. We present the precise numerical results for those relevant coefficients (CFF(x0),⋯ ,CFBB(x0))(C_{FF}(x_0), \cdots, C_{FBB}(x_0)) with an accuracy of about thirty digits. The three-loop QCD correction turns out to be significantly large. The obtained matching coefficient Cs(μf,μ,mb,mc)C_s(\mu_f,\mu,m_b,m_c) is helpful to analyze the threshold behaviours when two different heavy quarks are close to each other and form the double heavy BcB_c mesons.Comment: The projector is update
