How 1Bitcoin.ca Operates Financially

Transparency matters. Here’s a simple overview of how 1Bitcoin.ca operates and how we earn revenue.


💰 How We Make Money

Customer deposits are accepted solely for the purpose of purchasing Bitcoin and are automatically applied toward a Bitcoin purchase once received and processed.

1Bitcoin.ca earns revenue through swap fees built into the exchange rate when users buy or sell Bitcoin.

The rate shown before confirming your transaction includes our fee.


✅ No Surprise Fees

We aim to keep pricing straightforward.

1Bitcoin.ca does not charge:

  • account fees

  • hidden platform fees

  • monthly subscription fees

The exchange rate shown before you confirm your transaction includes the applicable trading fee. Bitcoin network fees may also apply when your Bitcoin is delivered.


🔐 We Don’t Use Customer Bitcoin

1Bitcoin.ca does not:

  • lend customer Bitcoin

  • stake customer assets

  • use leverage with customer funds

Bitcoin purchased through 1Bitcoin.ca is automatically delivered to your verified Whitelisted Wallet once your deposit has been received and processed.

Because 1Bitcoin.ca is a non-custodial platform, we do not hold your Bitcoin after settlement.
