How Fold bitcoin gift cards work
Fold is partnering with Totus, a leading gift card issuer for top consumer brands. This ensures a seamless buying experience and access to one of the widest retail distribution networks in the country. Once purchased, these bitcoin gift cards can be redeemed into a Fold bitcoin balance.
- Gift cards are dollar-denominated, loaded with up to $500
- The cash balance is held until redemption
- The BTC amount purchased will be determined by the exchange rate at the time of redemption
So if you buy and send a gift card to someone, they'll be taken through the process of creating a Fold account, gaining access to their bitcoin balance wallet, and exposed to all the other features for stacking sats. Once redeemed, those funds can be withdrawn to self-custody or stay in their bitcoin balance with Fold.
It's the perfect onboarding experience!
- No altcoin distractions
- A simple process that requires no bitcoin knowledge
- Peace of mind with a bitcoin-focused custodial solution
- All the tools for continuing one's bitcoin savings journey
"Our mission is to make Bitcoin easy and accessible for everyone… With the Bitcoin Gift Card, we've created the simplest way for anyone to start owning Bitcoin—no exchanges, no wallets, just Bitcoin delivered instantly." — Will Reeves
