Buy and sell digital assets through a professional trading desk
Convert fiat currency into Bitcoin, USDT or USDC—and back again—through clear quotes, coordinated settlement and direct support from Bitkaya.
Available to approved business clients. Transactions are subject to onboarding, compliance review and asset availability.
Professional access to digital-asset liquidity
We act as your trading counterparty and agree the price, asset, blockchain network and settlement instructions before execution. This gives your business a clear transaction process without having to navigate multiple exchanges or unfamiliar trading platforms.
What you can do
- Buy digital assets: convert supported fiat currency into Bitcoin, USDT or USDC for treasury holdings, supplier payments, investment or other legitimate business purposes.
- Sell digital assets: sell supported digital assets and receive fiat settlement into an approved bank account after the transaction and required checks have been completed.
- Exchange stablecoins: convert between supported stablecoins or blockchain networks when operationally available—for example, when your business receives assets on one network but requires liquidity on another.
- Execute large transactions: request an individually prepared quote for larger or recurring transactions for example those related to the purchase/sale of real estate. Bitkaya coordinates the execution and settlement directly with your business.
Supported digital assets
Bitkaya focuses on a deliberately limited selection of established digital assets:
| Asset | Supported networks |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Bitcoin and, where available, Lightning |
| USDT | Tron and Ethereum |
| USDC | Ethereum and Solana |
Supported assets and networks may change based on liquidity, technical, compliance or operational considerations. The exact asset and network are always confirmed before execution.
How execution works
1. Complete business onboarding. We identify the company, its ultimate beneficial owners and authorized representatives. We may also ask about the intended use of the service and expected transaction activity.
2. Request a quote. Tell us whether you want to buy or sell, the required asset and network, the amount and your preferred settlement currency.
3. Confirm the transaction: Bitkaya provides a firm or time-limited quote with the applicable price, fees and settlement instructions. Nothing is executed until you accept the quote.
4. Settle the transaction. You transfer the agreed fiat currency or digital assets. Bitkaya completes the corresponding delivery to the approved bank account or wallet.
5. Receive transaction documentation. The transaction is recorded through Bitkaya’s business process, providing your company with a clear record of the order and settlement.
Principal trading model
Bitkaya operates a principal trading model. This means that Bitkaya is your contractual counterparty in the transaction.
You receive an agreed quote from Bitkaya rather than placing an order on an exchange order book. This provides:
- A clearly identified trading counterparty
- One agreed price before execution
- Coordinated fiat and blockchain settlement
- Direct assistance with wallet and network details
- Transaction records suitable for internal administration and audit-control
- No requirement to manage accounts across multiple exchanges
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Service
Bitkaya enables approved businesses to buy and sell supported digital assets through a directly agreed transaction. Bitkaya provides the quote, acts as the trading counterparty and coordinates settlement with the client.
No. Bitkaya generally acts as principal and is itself the counterparty to the transaction. Your business buys digital assets from Bitkaya or sells them to Bitkaya at the price agreed in the quote.
No. Bitkaya facilitates transactions but does not advise whether your business should purchase, hold or sell a particular digital asset. Your company remains responsible for its treasury, compliance, accounting, tax and investment decisions.
No. Each transaction is subject to onboarding status, compliance review, liquidity and operational capacity. Bitkaya may request further information or decline a transaction.

Additional information may be required depending on the client and transaction circumstances.
Bitkaya must understand the commercial purpose of transactions and assess whether they are consistent with the client’s business and expected activity. Supporting documents may therefore be requested.
It may. For supplier payments, third-party settlement, unusual transactions or transactions outside the client’s expected activity, Bitkaya may request invoices, agreements or other supporting evidence.
Only persons authorized by the onboarded business may submit or approve transaction instructions. Bitkaya may verify a person’s authority before accepting an order.
A transaction may be delayed or declined because of incomplete information, wallet-screening results, third-party involvement, inconsistent settlement details, liquidity constraints, sanctions or financial-crime concerns, or other legal or operational considerations.
Supported assets and transactions
Bitkaya currently focuses on Bitcoin, USDT and USDC across selected blockchain networks. Availability depends on the asset, network, transaction size, liquidity and compliance review.
Yes. Approved business clients can request to sell BTC or supported USDT or USDC for fiat settlement. The available currency, bank account requirements and settlement arrangements are confirmed in the quote.
Yes. Bitkaya can provide the stablecoins, while your business remains responsible for the underlying supplier relationship and payment obligation. Bitkaya may request an invoice, agreement or other supporting documentation.
No. We only settle to your whitelisted wallet address that belongs to your business. From there on you can pay the supplier from your own wallet. Alternatively, you can make use of our Custody Service, where we can settle on your behalf to third-parties, which may require additional documention.
Minimums and operational limits may apply and can differ by client, asset, network and payment method. Larger or recurring transactions can be discussed with the trading desk in advance. In general our minimum transaction amount for business clients is $15K, but that may be lowered based on your exact use case.
Quotes and pricing
By email. Approved clients provide the asset, blockchain network, buy or sell direction, transaction amount and desired settlement currency. Bitkaya then confirms availability and provides a quote with settlement instructions.
Quotes are generally valid for a limited period because digital-asset markets move continuously. The precise validity period is communicated with each quote. If a quote expires, Bitkaya can provide a new price.
The quote reflects the prevailing market price, available liquidity, transaction size, asset and network, operational requirements and Bitkaya’s applicable fee or margin. The complete amount payable or receivable is confirmed before acceptance.
Applicable fees are disclosed as part of the quote or settlement instructions. Fees may depend on the asset, blockchain network, payment method and transaction circumstances.
Settlement
After accepting the quote, your business transfers the agreed fiat currency or digital assets. Bitkaya completes the corresponding delivery to the approved wallet or bank account after receipt and completion of the required checks.
Settlement depends on receipt of funds or digital assets, banking cut-off times, blockchain confirmations, liquidity and completion of required checks. Bitkaya confirms the expected process for each transaction. In general we strive to settle transaction the same business day.
No. Bitkaya aims to complete transactions efficiently but cannot guarantee same-day settlement in all circumstances. Banking delays, blockchain conditions, compliance reviews or liquidity requirements may affect timing.
No. Fiat funds must generally originate from, and be paid to, an approved bank account held in the name of the onboarded client. Third-party payments require prior review and may not be accepted.
Wallets and blockchain networks
Usually, yes. Digital assets are ordinarily delivered to an approved wallet controlled by your business or an appropriately documented third party. Businesses that do not want to manage their own wallets may separately enquire about Bitkaya’s custody service.
No. Bitkaya may screen, verify or approve a wallet before it is used. The wallet must support the exact asset and blockchain network specified in the transaction.
USDT and USDC exist on multiple blockchain networks. A wallet that supports an asset on one network may not support the same asset on another. Using an incorrect network or wallet address can cause permanent loss.
A proposed change must be submitted to Bitkaya before settlement. The replacement wallet may require new verification and compliance checks. Digital assets will not automatically be redirected based on an informal instruction.
Transaction-related wallet checks form part of Bitkaya’s execution controls. Continuous wallet monitoring, alerts and periodic reporting are available separately through the Crypto Treasury Monitoring service.
Risks and responsibilities
No. Stablecoins are designed to track a reference currency, but they remain digital assets. They carry issuer, depegging, liquidity, blockchain, wallet, operational and regulatory risks.
The client is responsible for providing accurate wallet information and confirming that the wallet supports the specified asset and network. Bitkaya applies operational checks, but these do not replace the client’s responsibility.
No. Once a transaction has been transmitted and confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be cancelled or reversed.
The client is responsible for determining the appropriate accounting, tax and regulatory treatment of its transactions. Bitkaya provides transaction documentation but does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice.
