Buy Claude Pro with Bitcoin: what to know before you pay

Payment processors typically require 1–2 confirmations before marking a BTC payment 'finished'. One Bitcoin block averages 10 minutes, so plan for 10–30 minutes between sending and the order flipping to paid — longer if the mempool is congested and your fee was low.

This delay is normal and your order page will show 'confirming on chain' during it. The 12-hour delivery clock starts when the payment finishes, not when you hit send.

The single most common BTC mistake: telling your wallet to send the invoice amount and letting it *deduct* the miner fee from it, so the invoice receives a few thousand sats short and the order goes into an underpaid state.

Set your wallet so the recipient receives the exact invoice amount — most wallets have a 'fee added on top' mode. If you're withdrawing from an exchange, the exchange's withdrawal fee is deducted the same way; withdraw the invoice amount *plus* the withdrawal fee.

If you do underpay, don't panic: the invoice stays open and you can top up the remaining amount. We email you the outstanding balance automatically.

• Open the checkout and pick Claude Pro (or Max) and a duration — the total is itemized in USD.
• Continue to payment and choose BTC on the NOWPayments invoice. You get an address and an exact BTC amount locked for the invoice window.
• Send from your wallet with the fee added on top of the amount.
• Watch the order page — it polls automatically through 'confirming' to 'paid'.
• Within 12 hours the official claude.ai/gift redemption link lands in your email. Redeem at claude.ai/gift/redeem on the web.

If you hold both, a stablecoin on a fast network (USDT on Tron, USDC on Solana) confirms in seconds and has no exchange-rate movement during the invoice window. BTC works — stables are just smoother for a fixed-USD purchase. See paying with USDT.

Either way the end product is identical: an official Claude gift code on your own account.
