# Pay for the Claude API with cryptocurrency

If a bank card is not an option — or you simply prefer crypto — you can fund your Claude API balance with cryptocurrency such as USDT or BTC and start immediately, with no Anthropic account.

## Card or crypto, your choice

At checkout you can pay by bank card or with cryptocurrency through a secure payment provider. Either way the balance lands prepaid in your account and is spent only when requests run.

## Why crypto helps

- No supported Anthropic billing country required.
- Useful where cards are declined or unavailable.
- Balance never expires, so you fund once and draw down as you build.

## What to expect at checkout

Choose crypto at checkout, send the amount to the address shown, and your balance credits once the network confirms. Card remains available if you prefer it for a specific top-up.

- Balance credits after on-chain confirmation.
- Any whole-dollar amount; balance never expires.
- Switch between card and crypto per top-up.

## Which cryptocurrencies you can pay with

Crypto top-ups go through a secure payment provider, so common coins are supported.

- USDT and other stablecoins.
- BTC and major cryptocurrencies.
- Balance credits once the network confirms the transaction.
