Buy Bitcoin (BTC)
safely

The simplest, most convenient, and safest way to buy Bitcoin in Israel is through Bits of Gold, a licensed and regulated platform. Open an account on the website or app, complete a short identity verification process in accordance with regulatory requirements, and choose your preferred payment method. After completing the purchase, the Bitcoin is transferred either to Bits of Gold’s managed cold wallet or to an external wallet of your choice.

When purchasing digital currencies, there are several payment options available. At Bits of Gold, you can buy Bitcoin using a credit card, bank transfer, or cash. Credit card purchases start from ₪500, while bank transfers start from ₪750. Additionally, cash purchases can be made via the Bitcoin ATM located at the Bitcoin Embassy in Tel Aviv, with amounts ranging from ₪20 up to ₪5,000 per day.

Bitcoin is transferred to your wallet as quickly as possible and up to 3 business days, depending on the selected payment method, business hours, and the terms of use. When Bitcoin is purchased and stored in Bits of Gold’s managed cold wallet, transfers are usually faster. Keep in mind that transaction confirmation times also depend on network congestion on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Once the process is complete, your account is activated and ready for immediate use.
