How to buy bitcoin

How to buy Bitcoin

Buying Bitcoin is as simple as opening a trading account and buying an asset. You:

  • Fill out some forms to create the account
  • Fund the account with cash*
  • Trade that cash to buy bitcoin

*In some cases you can skip this step, meaning you buy Bitcoin directly using the payment method of your choice.

Payment options

Your payment options may include bank transfers, Chime, Zelle, CashApp, e-currency, and wire transfers. Determining the best payment option depends on:

  • How quickly you need access to your bitcoin
  • The amount of bitcoin you’re buying
  • Your country of residence

This guide is organized by country of residence.

USA, Canada, UK & Europe

Linking your bank account is best for larger purchases (more than $200) and regular buyers.

It takes longer to setup, but you’ll have more flexibility and you’ll be saving money on fees in the long-term.
