What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a decentralized peer-to-peer payment network and completely digital money.

It uses peer-to-peer technology, so transactions and the issuing of bitcoins are managed collectively by the network rather than by a central authority or bank.

Behind the scenes, the Bitcoin network shares a public ledger called the blockchain. This ledger contains every transaction ever processed, which helps users verify transactions without relying on one central operator.

How to buy Bitcoin in the US

In the Crypto.com App, you can buy Bitcoin in a few steps:

  1. Create an account and complete identity verification.
  2. Add funds to your account.
  3. Tap 'Buy', select Bitcoin (BTC), enter the US Dollar (USD) amount and confirm your purchase.

Trading is subject to account verification and eligibility.

Ways to pay when buying Bitcoin in the US

For US-based users, USD is the primary fiat currency accepted on the platform.

You can add funds by bank transfer, credit/debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or by transferring crypto to your wallet. Availability can depend on your account and payment method, so review the payment details before confirming.

Can you buy less than one Bitcoin?

Yes. Bitcoin is divisible up to eight decimal places into smaller units called satoshis, so you don’t need to purchase a whole Bitcoin.

In the Crypto.com App, US users can purchase fractional amounts of Bitcoin for as little as US$1.

FAQ

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that allows for secure, peer-to-peer transactions without the need for an intermediary like a bank or payment processor. Created in 2009 by an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto, it is the world's first and most widely adopted cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin operates on a distributed public ledger called a blockchain, which is maintained by a global network of computers (nodes). Transactions are permanently recorded and verified through complex cryptography by "miners," ensuring the network remains secure and transparent without centralized control.

The most secure way to buy Bitcoin (BTC) in the US is through a regulated cryptocurrency exchange like Crypto.com. Simply download the app, complete your KYC identity verification, and link your US bank account for ACH transfers or use a debit card.

Yes, Bitcoin is divisible up to eight decimal places into smaller units called Satoshis (Sats). US investors don't need to buy a whole coin; you can purchase fractional amounts of Bitcoin for as little as $1 on the Crypto.com App.

When you buy Bitcoin using a debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a pre-funded USD Fiat Wallet on Crypto.com, the transaction processes instantly. Your new BTC balance will reflect in your digital wallet within seconds.

Open the Crypto.com App, tap Buy, and select Bitcoin (BTC). Choose your preferred US payment method, such as your USD Fiat Wallet, Apple Pay, or debit card, enter the USD amount, and tap Confirm.

For US-based users, the US Dollar (USD) is the primary fiat currency accepted on the platform. You can seamlessly deposit USD via ACH or wire transfer to your Fiat Wallet to buy Bitcoin without paying foreign exchange fees.

Yes, buying, selling, and holding Bitcoin is entirely legal across the United States. Regulated exchanges comply with federal and state laws by requiring standard identity verification (KYC) to ensure a safe trading environment.

Simply buying and holding Bitcoin with US Dollars does not trigger a taxable event. However, selling your Bitcoin, trading it for another cryptocurrency, or using it to purchase goods is subject to capital gains taxes under IRS guidelines.

When you purchase Bitcoin on Crypto.com, it is safely held in your secure exchange wallet. For added autonomy, you can choose to transfer your Bitcoin to a self-custodial software or hardware wallet, giving you complete control over your private keys.
