How to withdraw bitcoin from Cash App

Cash App sends bitcoin to an outside wallet at three speeds. Standard is free, takes 24 hours or less and needs at least 0.001 BTC; Rush and Priority charge a network fee plus up to $2 or $3. Selling to dollars costs 0% to 2.0% plus a spread, and the cash-out to a bank is free or 0.5% to 2.5%.

To withdraw bitcoin from Cash App, open the Bitcoin balance, enter an amount, scan or paste the outside wallet's address, pick a speed and confirm. Standard takes 24 hours or less, is free and needs at least 0.001 BTC. Rush, 2 hours or less, and Priority, 10 minutes or less, charge a network fee plus up to $2 or $3, with a 0.00005 BTC minimum.

To turn bitcoin into dollars instead, sell it in the app, then cash out to a bank. Both routes are set out below from Cash App's help centre, read on 14 October 2026.

How do you withdraw bitcoin from Cash App to another wallet?

The Bitcoin Withdrawals article lists the steps:

Toggle from USD to BTC by tapping "USD" on the home screen.
Select "Bitcoin".
Enter the amount (in BTC or USD).
Tap the top left corner to scan a QR code, or tap "Send" to paste the address.
Tap the wallet address to confirm, then tap "Next".
Select a withdrawal speed.
Confirm the withdrawal.

A first withdrawal may require "some additional personal information." Then the warning that applies to every send:

Transactions sent to wallets outside of Cash App cannot be reversed. Always use caution by verifying the receiving address, and only send to your own wallet or to someone you know and trust.

Cash App sends to any valid address format, Taproot included. Lightning invoices can be paid from the same Send screen.

What are Cash App's bitcoin withdrawal fees and speeds?

Speed	Stated time	Fee	Minimum
Standard	24 hours or less	Free	0.001 BTC
Rush	2 hours or less	Network fee plus up to $2	0.00005 BTC
Priority	10 minutes or less	Network fee plus up to $3	0.00005 BTC
Lightning	Almost instant	No fee from bitcoin balance; 0.9% if funded from Cash balance	Not disclosed

The fees and times are from the Bitcoin Pricing article; the minimums from the Withdrawals article, which agrees with the pricing page's "₿100,000" sats minimum for Standard. Cash App's Bitcoin Disclosures, also recorded on the Cash App entry, give "a ₿5,000 minimum for on-chain withdrawals", the same as 0.00005 BTC.

The network part is estimated when the order is placed. The pricing page says Cash App "may charge you more than the estimated network fees for your transaction to account for periods of volatility." The total is shown on the confirmation screen before sending.

What is the Cash App bitcoin withdrawal limit?

Cash App does not print a figure. The Sending and Receiving Bitcoin article says limits "are rolling and account for any consecutive 1 day, 7 day period, or 30 day period, and limits reset at the top of the next hour", and that the figures are shown in the app under Profile, then Limits. The one number the help pages do give is for Lightning: up to $999 sent or received every 7 days. A dollar cap for on-chain withdrawals is not disclosed in the pages read.

Two other things can stop a withdrawal. Bitcoin bought with money from an outside bank account cannot leave until the transfer settles; the Terms of Service put that hold at "at least 7 days and in some cases as much as 60 days." And Cash App's scam page says it may "block risky payments" to addresses it links to bad actors.

How do you convert bitcoin to cash on Cash App?

Sell it. The Selling Bitcoin article: Money tab, Bitcoin tile, Sell, select an amount, then PIN or Touch ID and Confirm. The fee is the same sliding scale as for buying:

$1 to $499: 2.0%
$500 to $999: 1.5%
$1,000 to $1,999: 0.9%
$2,000 and over: 0%

A spread of 0% to 0.75% sits inside the quoted price, per the pricing page. A separate Bitcoin Spread article gives the range as 0% to 1%. The confirmation screen shows the rate used.

Selling $300 of bitcoin therefore costs a $6 fee plus up to $2.25 of spread at the 0.75% figure. Selling $2,500 costs no fee, only the spread.

How long until the dollars reach a bank?

The Withdrawal Transfer Speed Options article sets two choices for moving a Cash balance out. Standard transfers are free and usually arrive within 1 to 3 business days. Instant transfers go to a linked debit card for a 0.5% to 2.5% fee, minimum $0.25 to $1, maximum $75, shown before confirming.

Lightning has one more route. With Receive Lightning as dollars switched on, incoming Lightning payments land as USD for a 0.9% service fee.

What tax form does a sale trigger?

A sale produces an IRS Form 1099-DA, sent by 15 February the next year. The taxes article says it shows net proceeds without cost basis for 2025 sales, and "will not include any peer-to-peer transactions," including those with an external wallet. This is not tax advice.

Sending Cash App bitcoin to a casino

Cash App's Acceptable Use Policy, also recorded on the Cash App entry, lists gambling under "What's not allowed", except legal activity with merchants Block and its banks approve, and lets Cash App suspend an account "at any time without notice." A direct send from Cash App to a casino address runs into that clause. The wider pattern is in deposits from an exchange to a casino, and the self-custody route in the wallet safety checklist.

If a withdrawal went to a scammer, Cash App says "all on-chain payments are final." The legitimate routes are on the scam recovery page.
