Getting Started with Fold's Bitcoin Automations

Welcome to Fold's Bitcoin Automations, your gateway to effortless bitcoin accumulation! Automations are tools designed to work for you, empowering you to grow your bitcoin balance at your own pace.

 

What are Fold Automations?

Fold's Bitcoin Automations are a set of features within the Fold app that enable you to automate your bitcoin purchases. By setting up automations, you can save time and manage your stacking more efficiently. Whether you prefer regular scheduled buys or rounding up your transactions with small bitcoin purchases, automations can help you build your bitcoin holdings steadily and predictably at your own pace.

 

Current Automation Offerings

Auto-Stacks

Set up recurring buys at specified intervals – daily, weekly, or monthly – to steadily increase your bitcoin balance.

Direct to Bitcoin

Allows you to automatically convert a percentage of your deposits into bitcoin. Whether it’s part of your paycheck or a transfer from another account, you set the percentage once and watch your bitcoin investment grow over time.

Round-Ups

With every purchase made using your Fold Card, the transaction is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the difference is used to buy bitcoin automatically.

Set your round-up multiplier to 1x, 2x, 5x, or 10x.
