Overview
Strike is a digital wallet app designed for easy Bitcoin transactions and money transfers. Created by Zap, Inc. (founded by Jack Mallers), Strike gained popularity for leveraging the Bitcoin Lightning Network to send money instantly with low fees. The Strike app allows users to buy Bitcoin, send Bitcoin on-chain or via Lightning, and even pay Lightning invoices. For our purposes (paying via Bitcoin on-chain), Strike works much like Cash App: you can link your bank, buy Bitcoin in the app, then withdraw it to an external address. Strike is available in a growing number of countries – originally U.S., Argentina, and El Salvador, and as of 2023 expanded to 65+ countries including much of Europe, UK, Canada, and others . (Note: In the US, Strike is available in most states except New York due to regulatory reasons.) If Strike is supported in your country, it’s a fast and beginner-friendly option.

How to Send Bitcoin from Strike to an External Wallet
✅ Types of Bitcoin Transfers in Strike
Strike supports two types of Bitcoin transfers:
On-chain (to a Bitcoin address)
Lightning (to a Lightning invoice or username)
Our checkout uses on-chain, so choose that option.
🧾 Steps to Send Bitcoin via Strike
1. Copy the Bitcoin Address
Get the Bitcoin payment address below.
2. Open Strike’s Send Function
Open the Strike app and use the “Send” or “Pay” feature
Switch to Bitcoin sending mode (toggle to BTC if needed)
Look for the “Bitcoin Address” option, not Lightning or username
3. Paste the Address
Paste the copied Bitcoin address into the send field
Strike should recognize it as an on-chain BTC address
If asked “Lightning or Bitcoin?”, choose Bitcoin address
4. Enter the Bitcoin Amount
Specify the BTC amount you want to send
Manually enter the exact amount for your order
Example: $50 might equal ~0.0012 BTC

Example: If miner fee is 0.00001 BTC, you’ll see that before confirming
6. Confirm the Send
Double-check the BTC address and amount
Tap Confirm Send
You might need to enter a PIN or use Touch ID

Confirmation time: ~10–20 minutes depending on the network
