Editor’s note: We used a Google Pixel 7 running Android 14 to develop these instructions. We also verified all steps using an Apple iPhone 12 Mini Running iOS 17.5 to ensure the steps are the same on iOS and Android. Remember that some menus may look slightly different depending on your device and software version. By the way, we had to use iPhone screenshots, as the Android app doesn’t allow taking screenshots of key pages. The process is identical, though.
How to send Bitcoin on Cash App to a Bitcoin wallet
You can easily send your Bitcoin from Cash App to any other Bitcoin wallet. Let’s show you how it’s done.
Warning: Unless you’re sending the Bitcoin to another Cash App user, you must use a Bitcoin address for this transaction. You need to make sure to input this address perfectly. A single mistake will send your funds elsewhere, and you won’t be able to recover them, as Bitcoin blockchain transactions are irreversible. Be very careful inputting your BTC address! It’s better to copy and paste it, then double and triple check it. Also, make sure you are using an address that lives in the Bitcoin blockchain (or the Bitcoin Lightning Network). Don’t use an address from the Ethereum, Solana, or any other blockchain. None of this is financial advice; you will be the only one responsible for any lost funds.
- Launch Cash App. You can get it from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, if you don’t have it.
- Tap on the Money tab. It looks like a bank building, or your balance, if you have any.
- Select the Bitcoin option.
- Tap the Send or receive button. It looks like an arrow.
- Pick Send bitcoin.
- Select how much BTC you want to send. You can switch between dollars or Bitcoin. There is a minimum limit of 0.00005 BTC, or 0.0001 for Standard speed transfers.
- Tap on Send.
- Enter the Bitcoin address you want to send to and select it. It will look like a long set of numbers and letters. Again, make sure this address is correct!
- When you’re sure the address is correct, hit Next.
- Pick between Priority, Rush, or Standard withdrawal speeds. The fee will vary. If you choose Standard, it is free, but takes 24 hours. It’s also free if you’re using a Lightning Network address. The Lightning option will show up if that is the case.
- Tap Next.
- Verify the transaction details, then tap on Confirm & Send.
- Enter your Cash PIN. This is the last step before your BTC is sent! Only enter the PIN if you’re absolutely sure of this transaction. There is no going back.

These network transaction fees vary depending on the price of Bitcoin and the current network congestion.
Yes. You can send Bitcoin from Cash App to any Bitcoin wallet, including ones in an exchange like Coinbase. Just go to Coinbase and find your Bitcoin address.
Yes, you can send Bitcoin from Cash App to Binance. However, there is a pretty important caveat to keep in mind.
Cash App is only available in the US and the UK, and Binance doesn’t offer its services to US customers. This means many Cash App users can’t really access Binance. If you send your funds to said exchange, you might have difficulty accessing your Bitcoin. This is no issue if you’re simply sending Bitcoin to someone with access to a Binance account, though.
Yes! The Lightning network is an excellent alternative to the Bitcoin Blockchain. It’s faster, much cheaper, and supported by Cash App.
