Buy Bitcoin
Buy Bitcoin in Canada
Two ways to buy, depending on how much you are putting in. Use cash at one of our ATMs across Western Canada, or work one-on-one with our OTC desk for larger purchases. Both deliver Bitcoin straight to your own wallet — we never hold your coins.
Which Way Should You Buy?
Buy Bitcoin with cash at an ATM
The fastest way to buy Bitcoin in Canada if you are paying cash. Walk up, scan your wallet, insert cash, and the Bitcoin lands in your wallet — usually within minutes. No account, no bank transfer, no waiting on a deposit to clear.
Our machines are located across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
Find an ATMBuy through our White Glove OTC desk
For larger purchases, a dedicated advisor handles the trade end to end. You get a firm quote, competitive spreads, deep liquidity, and settlement by e-transfer, wire, or cheque — without opening an exchange account.
Bitcoin is delivered directly to your personal wallet, typically within 1 to 24 hours of funds settling.
White Glove ServiceHow to Buy Bitcoin in Canada
Set up a wallet you control
You need somewhere to receive your Bitcoin. Any self-custody wallet works. If you do not have one yet, our getting started guide walks through it.
Choose cash or desk
Paying cash for a smaller amount? Use an ATM. Buying $10,000 or more, or want someone to walk you through it? Use the OTC desk.
Complete your purchase
At an ATM, scan and insert cash. Through the desk, agree your price and send funds by e-transfer, wire, or cheque.
Receive Bitcoin in your wallet
Your Bitcoin goes directly to your own wallet. We never take custody, so you hold your keys from the moment it settles.
Why Buy From Cash2Crypto
Non-custodial by default
Every purchase settles straight to your own wallet. We never hold your Bitcoin, so there is no platform balance to withdraw and nothing to lose if an exchange goes down.
FINTRAC-registered
We are a registered Canadian Money Service Business (Reg. M21011327), not an offshore platform. Registration is verifiable on the Government of Canada's website.
Cash accepted
Our ATMs take physical cash, which most Canadian exchanges cannot. It is the most direct route from cash in hand to Bitcoin in your wallet.
A real person for larger buys
Above $10,000 you work with a dedicated advisor by phone, email, or in person at our Edmonton office — not a ticket queue.
Buying in Your City
Our ATM network covers Western Canada, with dedicated pages for the cities we serve most. The White Glove desk works with buyers Canada-wide regardless of location.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to buy Bitcoin in Canada?
It depends on the amount and how you are paying. If you are paying cash and buying a smaller amount, a Bitcoin ATM is the fastest route. If you are buying $10,000 CAD or more, an over-the-counter desk will usually get you a better spread and a person to walk you through the trade.
Can I buy Bitcoin with cash in Canada?
Yes. Cash2Crypto operates Bitcoin ATMs across Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan that accept physical cash and send Bitcoin directly to your wallet, usually within minutes. Most Canadian exchanges cannot accept cash at all.
What is the fastest way to buy Bitcoin in Canada?
Buying with cash at an ATM is generally fastest, because there is no account signup, bank transfer, or deposit clearing period. You scan your wallet, insert cash, and receive Bitcoin in minutes.
Where can I buy Bitcoin in Canada without an exchange?
You can buy through a Bitcoin ATM or an over-the-counter desk, neither of which requires an exchange account. Cash2Crypto offers both: ATMs for cash purchases and our White Glove desk for purchases of $10,000 CAD or more.
Do I need a wallet before I buy?
Yes. Because we are non-custodial, your Bitcoin is delivered to a wallet you control rather than held on a platform. Any self-custody wallet works, and our getting started guide covers setting one up.
Is buying Bitcoin legal in Canada?
Yes. Buying and holding Bitcoin is legal in Canada. Businesses that exchange it are required to register with FINTRAC as Money Service Businesses, which Cash2Crypto is (Reg. M21011327).
How much does it cost to buy Bitcoin?
Pricing is built into the rate quoted at the time of purchase. ATM pricing is shown on screen before you confirm, and White Glove clients receive a firm quote before committing to anything.
Can I buy Bitcoin in Canada if I do not live in Alberta?
Yes. Our ATM network is concentrated in Western Canada, but the White Glove OTC desk works with buyers across Canada and settles remotely by phone and email.
