Cash App Bitcoin fees in 2026 — the true cost
Cash App's fee depends entirely on how you buy. Per Cash App's fee page (accessed 2026-10-15), Auto Invest, Round Ups, Paid in Bitcoin, and buys over $2,000 are 0% fee and 0% spread. One-off Market Buys of $1–$499 cost 2.0% plus a possible 0–0.75% spread. StackCost models Auto Invest only — Market Buy is a different, much more expensive path.

Hidden costs to watch
- Market Buy at $1–$499 is 2.0% plus possible 0–0.75% spread — using it instead of Auto Invest is one of the most expensive ways to DCA.
- Our $0 all-in figure applies ONLY to Auto Invest / Auto Buy / Round Ups / Paid in Bitcoin — not to one-off Market Buys.
- Standard on-chain withdrawals are free above the ₿0.001 (100k sats) minimum; Rush/Priority speeds can carry fees.
- Lightning is available but not in New York.
- Cash App is custodial; pairing with a self-custody wallet (e.g. Bitkey) is a separate step.
