How to buy Bitcoin

One outcome.
Multiple paths.

Buy Bitcoin with cash at retail checkout, with a debit or credit card, or with a bank transfer. Every method ends the same way: Bitcoin delivered to the wallet you control.

You choose the payment method. You choose the wallet. You approve the transaction.

“Bitcoin POP is a game changer. I used to go to gas station ATMs where the fees were huge. Now I just stop at CVS, the cashier scans my code, and it’s done. Much faster and way cheaper.”
