There are several ways to acquire bitcoin. Some services let you earn bitcoin, but the most common approach is to buy through an online exchange. Further down the page you'll find a selection of recommended ones.

If you want to start acquiring bitcoin the right and safe way, we've put together a simple step-by-step guide that walks you through the most important steps — from buying to safe storage. Follow it and you'll have a solid setup you can always build on.

Always be aware that many exchanges also sell and advertise other cryptocurrencies. Some even try to present various "variants" of bitcoin, but there is only one real bitcoin (BTC). It is also increasingly possible to trade directly peer to peer (P2P).

⚠️ Important: There is only one real bitcoin (BTC). Be aware that many exchanges also sell and advertise other cryptocurrencies that are not bitcoin.

Once you've bought bitcoin, it's important to send it to your own wallet, where you control your private keys. We recommend getting a hardware wallet. See our overview of recommended models here: Hardware Wallets. You can also read more about safe storage here: Bitcoin storage.

Online exchanges

Some of these platforms work both on desktop and as an app, while others come in only one form. It's a good idea to visit their website and read up on them before you choose.

*Always check that you're on the correct URL before using a service. And always use two-factor authentication (2FA).
