Today, we’re excited to announce a major update to our global app, making it easier than ever for customers around the world to transfer dollars in and out of Strike and buy bitcoin.

Global customers in over 60 countries can now easily deposit funds, buy bitcoin, and withdraw cash faster, cheaper, and more seamlessly than ever before, thanks to Virtual USD accounts. Buying bitcoin has never been easier, no matter where you are in the world.

At Strike, we're committed to making Bitcoin accessible to everyone, everywhere. This update is another important step toward expanding options for our global customers.

More Ways to Buy Bitcoin

Strike serves customers in over 100 countries. The demand for bitcoin is universal but the rails to get there are broken. In many parts of the world, local fiat payment rails are unreliable, expensive, or don’t exist at all. People are locked out, with no access to trusted exchanges or simple ways to buy bitcoin. We're here to change that. That’s why we’re introducing more flexible, USD-based solutions to make it easier for global customers to buy bitcoin.

With Virtual USD Accounts, global customers in over 60 countries can now deposit funds into their Strike account quickly and easily. Whether you're using a traditional U.S. bank like Bank of America, or a virtual USD account from platforms like Wise, you now have more ways than ever to fund your account.

For customers who don’t have access to a U.S. bank account, virtual USD accounts offer a great alternative. These accounts provide you with a unique routing and account number, so you can deposit funds directly into your Strike account without needing a U.S. bank.

Your funds are automatically credited 1:1 with USD and can be used to buy bitcoin.

Wherever you are, Strike gives you a clear and easy way to deposit dollars, buy bitcoin, and withdraw funds, all without relying on local currency rails.

Introducing Virtual USD Accounts
