Step 1: Creating an account on BTC Direct

It won’t come as a surprise, but if you would like to sell your bitcoin you will need an account first. Did you already register on our website? Than you can skip this step and continue reading step two. If you haven’t got an account yet, click ‘Register’ in the top right corner. Creating a BTC Direct account is fast, easy and free, you will be able to sell your bitcoin the same day.

In order to create an account you will need to identify yourself. We focus on providing a platform where you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies with the greatest of ease. However, offering services without identifying our users would open the door to illicit activity as it could for instance allow criminals to buy bitcoins with a hacked bank account. We expect that laws and regulations will come into force in the not too distant future. To ensure that our customers won’t experience any inconvenience to these potential regulations, we already have a clear KYC policy in place.


Step 2: Start a sell order

Now you’ve created an account, you’ll able to sell your bitcoins.

  1. Select ‘Sell’ on our homepage. Bitcoin is already selected in the calculator for you. Enter the amount of coins you would like to sell and click ‘sell bitcoins’. Now you will get to see an overview of your order.
  2. Fill in or check your banking details, accept the terms and conditions and click ‘checkout’.
  3. You’ve now created your sell order. On screen you will find the bitcoin address you need to send the coins to. Make sure to copy and paste the address, never type it out manually.
  4. On the right side of the screen you will see the time you have left to send the coins to the given address.
  5. Access your wallet and click on ‘send coins’. Here you can paste the address we’ve provided you with and enter the amount of coins you would like to sell to us.
  6. Most wallets automatically determine the necessary amount of fee for your transaction. If your wallet hasn’t got that function and you need more information, please read our article on transaction fees or contact our support team.
  7. Your bitcoins have now been sent to BTC Direct. The payout amount will be determined once the transaction is visible on the blockchain. The transaction doesn’t need to be confirmed yet.
