How we make money
Buy With Bitcoin is free to use. We make money in three ways:
- Affiliate links. Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up for a service through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our rankings or inclusion decisions.
- Sponsored placements. Occasionally, a vendor will sponsor a guide or category page. Sponsored placements are clearly labelled and are limited to vendors we'd recommend anyway.
- Donations. We accept Bitcoin donations. The donation address is on the contact page.
Editorial independence
Our verification process (see How We Verify) is independent of our commercial relationships. A vendor's affiliate status never changes its verification status or its position in any list. We rank on payment method, jurisdiction, no-logs policy (for VPNs), track record, and reliability — not on commission rates.
Specific affiliate programmes we participate in
- VPN providers (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Mullvad, and others)
- Hosting providers (Stablepoint, BitLaunch, and others)
- Travel sites (Travala, CheapAir, and others)
- Gift card platforms (Bitrefill, Coinsbee, and others)
No hidden costs
Affiliate links do not change the price you pay. The commission comes out of the vendor's marketing budget, not your pocket.
