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.

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.
