Before you start
You need a verified Bybit account, a funding method (card, bank transfer, or P2P), and ideally a self-custody wallet for the bitcoin once purchased.
Step 1, Choose how to fund
Bank transfer is the cheapest funding method. Cards are fastest but carry the highest fees. P2P sits in between and is region-dependent.
Step 2, Place the order
Open Spot, select BTC/USDT (or BTC/USD where available). Use a market order for simplicity or a limit order to control your price. Confirm the order summary before submitting.
Step 3, Confirm the fill
Your bitcoin appears in your Spot wallet within seconds of execution. Note the price you actually paid versus the price you expected, this is your real all-in cost.
Step 4, Move to self-custody
Add your hardware wallet's BTC address to the withdrawal whitelist. Send a small test transaction first. Once it arrives, send the remainder.
