Cash App is running a limited-time “Cash App Bitcoin Bonus” promotion in April 2026. Users who complete eligible actions can earn up to $80 in Bitcoin rewards. You can find the full terms of the promotion here.

Promotion period:
April 6, 2026 – April 10, 2026 (Eastern Time), or until the reward pool is exhausted.

Buy $10 in Bitcoin and get a $5 bonus (easiest option)

If you buy at least $10 in Bitcoin through Cash App, you can receive an additional $5 in BTC.

  • Low minimum requirement, suitable for almost all users
  • Simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes
  • You can sell immediately after buying to reduce price volatility risk

This works out to roughly a 50% instant return, making it the easiest reward to earn in this promotion.

Pay with Bitcoin and get a $25 bonus (highest payout)

Use BTC in Cash App to make a payment with a merchant that supports Square, and you can receive a $25 Bitcoin reward.

  • Highest payout for a single action
  • Can be combined with everyday spending
  • Can be stacked with the first step

Note:

  • New York users are not eligible
  • The merchant must support BTC payments

A small purchase, such as buying coffee, may be the best way to complete this requirement at minimal cost.

Bitkey wallet (not recommended)

This option requires you to:

  • Set up a Bitkey wallet
  • Transfer Bitcoin from Cash App to Bitkey

However, the Bitkey hardware device costs $99, and the task only counts as completed after you transfer out the Bitcoin.

For most users, this option is too expensive and not worth it.

Best strategy

  1. Buy $10 in BTC and earn $5
  2. Use BTC for a small purchase and earn $25

That gives you about $30 in BTC total at relatively low cost.

Things to keep in mind

  • The total reward pool is limited, so the promotion may end early
  • US users only
  • Some features are unavailable in New York
  • All required actions must be completed during the promotion period

Summary

For most users, completing just the first two steps offers the best value. The main challenge is finding a coffee shop or other merchant that supports Square.
