Why pay with Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the coin most people already hold, so paying with BTC means spending what is in your wallet without converting first.
Bitcoin fees depend on how busy the network is, so BTC suits larger top ups best. For a small top up, a low-fee network like Tron, Solana, or BNB Smart Chain loses less on the way.
- Spend the BTC you already hold
- Plain on-chain payment from any Bitcoin wallet
- No card, no bank, no ID to buy

What our address looks like. Our Bitcoin address starts with bc1p, which makes it a Taproot address.
How fast is a BTC payment?
Time between blocks: About 10 minutes. A block is a batch of payments the network writes down, and your payment needs to be in one before it counts. Here is how that compares with every other network we accept:

Mistakes to avoid with BTC
Sending over Lightning
We accept on-chain Bitcoin only. A Lightning payment cannot reach our address.
Picking the lowest possible fee
When the network is busy, a very low fee can leave a payment waiting for hours. Use your wallet's normal fee.
How private is paying with BTC?
Bitcoin is not private by default. Bitcoin.org itself says every transaction is public and stored permanently. Paying from your own wallet keeps your bank and card out of it, but if you want the payment itself hidden, Monero does that.
Whatever you pay with, the SimVala side stays the same: an account number instead of an email or name, and no ID to buy. For a private payment too, see paying with Monero.

Paying with BTC, answered
Why does my wallet say the address is invalid?+
Our address starts with bc1p, a Taproot address. Some older wallets cannot send to those yet. Updating the wallet, or using a newer one, fixes it.
How long does a Bitcoin payment take?+
A new Bitcoin block arrives about every 10 minutes on average, and your payment needs to be in one. A normal network fee keeps it from waiting longer.
Do you support the Lightning Network?+
Not at the moment. We accept on-chain Bitcoin. For a small, low-fee top up, USDT on Tron or Solana are the cheapest options we take.
Why did the BTC amount change?+
The BTC figure reflects the live rate when you request the quote so your top up matches the dollar amount you chose. The quote holds for 15 minutes.
Is there a minimum?+
Yes, the minimum top up is $20 and the maximum is $500 per top up.
How fast is delivery?+
Most orders are ready within minutes of your payment confirming.
