How To pay with Bitcoin

BEST ALTERNATIVE:

BEFORE WITHDRAWING BITCOIN FROM CASH APP, ENSURE:

• You have a verified Cash App account with Bitcoin enabled (you can buy or receive BTC via the app).
• You have an external Bitcoin wallet (e.g., a mobile wallet like Zengo, desktop wallet, or hardware like Ledger/Trezor) ready to receive the funds. This wallet will provide the QR code you’ll scan.
• Your wallet supports Bitcoin (BTC) on the main network—Cash App only sends via Bitcoin network.
• Be aware of fees: Cash App charges a variable fee (around 2% for small amounts) plus network fees. Check current fees in-app.
• Withdrawals are irreversible—double-check the QR code and amount to avoid loss.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Open Cash App and Navigate to Bitcoin

• Launch the Cash App on your mobile device and log in.
• On the home screen, tap the Money tab (bottom-left icon, looks like a dollar sign).
• Tap Bitcoin (or the BTC icon) to access your Bitcoin balance.

Select Withdraw Bitcoin:

• Tap the Send button (airplane icon) or look for the Withdraw option under your BTC balance.
• Choose Bitcoin as the asset (toggle from USD to BTC if needed).

Enter the Amount:

• Input the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) you want to withdraw. You can specify in BTC or USD equivalent.
• Review the estimated fees and total cost displayed.

Scan the QR Code:

• In the recipient field, tap the QR scanner icon (usually in the top-left corner of the screen).
• Open your external Bitcoin wallet app and display the receiving QR code (this encodes your wallet’s public address).
• Point your phone’s camera at the QR code on your wallet screen to scan it. Cash App will automatically populate the wallet address.
• (Alternative: If scanning isn’t feasible, tap Send instead and manually paste the wallet address from your external wallet.)

Review and Confirm:

• Double-check the wallet address (first and last 4 characters should match your external wallet).
• Confirm the amount, fees, and destination.
• Enter your Cash App PIN, use Touch ID/Face ID, or complete two-factor authentication to authorize.

Complete the Withdrawal:

• Tap Confirm to send. The transaction will process on the Bitcoin network (may take 10–60 minutes, depending on congestion).
• Track status in Cash App under Activity > Bitcoin tab.

TIPS AND WARNINGS:

• Minimum Withdrawal: Typically 0.00001 BTC (about $1 USD), but check in app for current limits.
• Security: Only scan QR codes from trusted wallets. Never share your private keys or seed phrases.
• Taxes: Withdrawing may trigger taxable events—consult a tax advisor.
• Troubleshooting: If the scan fails, ensure good lighting and try manual entry. For issues, contact Cash App support via the app.
• Cashing Out to Fiat: If you meant converting BTC to USD and withdrawing to a bank, sell BTC first (under Bitcoin tab > Sell), then transfer USD to your linked bank.
