1Bitcoin.ca is designed as a non-custodial Bitcoin platform.
This means Bitcoin purchases are automatically delivered to your personal whitelisted wallet address instead of being stored on the platform long-term.
For many users, this can feel like an “automatic withdrawal,” but it is actually part of how Auto-Buy and wallet delivery work together.
🔐 What Does Non-Custodial Mean?
Non-custodial means you control your own Bitcoin wallet and private keys.
Instead of holding Bitcoin balances directly on the platform, 1Bitcoin.ca sends purchased Bitcoin to your personal wallet address.
This helps users:
maintain control of their Bitcoin
use self-custody wallets
reduce reliance on third-party storage

⚙️ How the Purchase Process Works
Once your account has been fully verified and your Whitelisted Wallet has been added:
You make a Canadian dollar deposit.
Your deposit is received and processed.
Your deposit is automatically applied toward a Bitcoin purchase.
Your Bitcoin is delivered directly to your verified Whitelisted Wallet.
There is no separate buy order or Bitcoin withdrawal required.
📬 Why Is Bitcoin Sent Automatically?
Automatically delivering Bitcoin to your verified Whitelisted Wallet helps:
Simplify the purchase process.
Eliminate the need for a separate Bitcoin withdrawal.
Keep Bitcoin in a wallet that you own and control.
Help protect against unauthorized wallet changes.
🛡️ What Is a Whitelisted Wallet?
A Whitelisted Wallet is a Bitcoin wallet that you've added and verified on your 1Bitcoin.ca account.
Before a wallet becomes active:
You must confirm it using the verification email we send you.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is required for wallet changes.
A 24-hour security waiting period applies whenever your Whitelisted Wallet is changed.
Bitcoin purchases can only be delivered to your active verified Whitelisted Wallet.
