Watch the Full Tutorial

1 Open Cash App

Launch the Cash App on your mobile device. Make sure you're logged in to your account.

Note: You must have a verified Cash App account to buy and sell Bitcoin. If you haven't verified your identity yet, you'll need to do that first.
2 Navigate to the Bitcoin Section

On the home screen of Cash App, look for the Bitcoin tab (it looks like a "B" with two vertical lines). Tap on it.

If you don't see the Bitcoin tab, it means Bitcoin features aren't enabled for your account yet. You may need to update the app or contact Cash App support.

3 Enable Bitcoin Features

If this is your first time using Bitcoin on Cash App, you'll need to enable the feature:

  1. Tap "Enable Bitcoin"
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your identity (if you haven't already)
  3. Read and accept the Bitcoin terms of service
Important: Cash App requires full identity verification (including SSN) for Bitcoin transactions due to financial regulations.
4 Set Up Your Bitcoin Wallet

Once enabled, Cash App will automatically create a Bitcoin wallet for you. This is where your Bitcoin will be stored.

To view your wallet details:

  1. Tap the Bitcoin tab
  2. Select "Deposit Bitcoin" or "Withdraw Bitcoin"
  3. Your wallet address will be displayed
Security Tip: Never share your wallet's private key or recovery phrase with anyone. Cash App manages this for you, but it's good to be aware.
