Where to Sell Bitcoin in Canada

Canadians have several ways to turn BTC into dollars, including a Canadian crypto exchange, Bitcoin ATM, peer-to-peer platform or P2P marketplace, and other cryptocurrency service providers. Each cash-out method can have different fees, limits, verification requirements, security measures and payout options. Comparing those differences can help you decide how you want to convert your crypto assets into Canadian cash.

Cryptocurrency exchanges like MyBTC.ca take a different approach.

Instead of requiring you to move your Bitcoin onto an exchange and manually place a market order, MyBTC.ca uses intelligent auto-accept technology with your dedicated Bitcoin auto-sell address. Send BTC to that address and, after the required network confirmations, your Bitcoin is automatically converted into CAD so you can withdraw.

Sell From Your Existing Bitcoin Wallet

Your BTC might be sitting in a Bitcoin wallet, hardware wallet, hot or cold crypto wallet, or on another cryptocurrency trading platform. If your wallet allows you to send BTC over the Bitcoin network, you can transfer the amount you want to sell directly to your MyBTC.ca auto-sell address.

That’s fine. If you can send Bitcoin from that cryptocurrency wallet on the Bitcoin network, you can transfer the amount you want to sell to your MyBTC.ca auto-sell address.

You don’t have to move your entire Bitcoin balance. Send the amount associated with the sale you want to make and keep the rest wherever you currently store it.

From BTC to a CAD Balance

Once your Bitcoin transaction reaches 2 network confirmations, MyBTC.ca executes the sell order and converts the BTC into fiat currency CAD.

That CAD is then reflected in your MyBTC.ca balance and can be withdrawn using an available Canadian withdrawal method.

It’s the reverse side of buying Bitcoin: CAD to BTC when you buy, BTC back to CAD when you sell. As you trade, make capital gain, or do whatever you do with Bitcoin, MyBTC.ca is your dedicated on & off ramp.

Cash Out Bitcoin With Interac e-Transfer

For many Canadians, Interac e-Transfer is already part of everyday banking.

The MyBTC.ca platform supports CAD withdrawals by Interac e-Transfer from $20 to $25,000 per transaction. The current withdrawal fee is $5, with a listed timeframe of 0–6 hours, and in some rare circumstances longer. Typically during regular hours, process times are near-immediate.

Customers withdrawing larger amounts can also use Bank Transfer (similar to a Wire Transfer), currently available for transactions from $20,000 to $75,000, with a listed fee of $10 and timeframe of 1–2 business days.

Selling Larger Amounts of Bitcoin

Sometimes cashing out Bitcoin means considerably more than a few hundred dollars.

MyBTC.ca currently supports BTC sell orders of up to $500,000 CAD per transaction. Withdrawal limits are separate, and multiple withdrawal requests may be submitted per day.

If you’re planning a substantial Bitcoin sale and have questions about your big transfer, sending BTC or withdrawing your resulting CAD balance, contact our Canadian client specialists before making the transfer. Our staff will guide you through the process so you can cash out with confidence.

A real person can help you understand the process before you move your Bitcoin.

How Much Bitcoin Can I Sell?

You don’t need to sell one whole Bitcoin, and you certainly don’t need to liquidate your entire wallet.

Bitcoin is divisible, allowing you to choose the amount of BTC you want to turn into Canadian dollars. MyBTC.ca’s current Bitcoin sell-order range is $5 to $500,000 CAD per transaction.

That makes the same sell system useful for someone cashing out a small amount of BTC and someone handling a much larger transaction.

Before You Send Your BTC

Bitcoin transactions are generally irreversible once sent and confirmed, so take a moment to check the details before pressing send.

Every cryptocurrency transaction sent over the Bitcoin network should be reviewed carefully before it is submitted. Check the receiving address, confirm that you’re sending BTC on the correct network and review any Bitcoin network fee charged by your wallet before approving the transfer. Once confirmed, blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed.

Copy your MyBTC.ca Bitcoin auto-sell address directly or use the supplied QR code rather than manually typing a cryptocurrency address. MyBTC.ca’s existing Bitcoin sell instructions specifically recommend copying the address or scanning its QR code to reduce the risk of an input error. These are simple security measures that will help keep you safe.

Confirm the address, make sure you’re sending Bitcoin (BTC) on the Bitcoin network, and verify the amount before authorizing the transaction.
