If you stack regularly, you might bump into the rolling 30‑day limit of 999 CHF (or euro equivalent). For that exact use case, there’s Bittr Whales: the program that lets you buy larger amounts.

Whales is for users who need more than the standard limit. After a one‑time registration you can purchase higher amounts. The flow stays the same: make a bank transfer from your online banking, bitcoin goes directly to your own wallet.

Why is there a limit?

Bittr keeps the service intentionally simple and compliant. The rolling limit of 999 CHF per 30 days enables easy onboarding for most users, set it up once and buy bitcoin via bank transfer. If you want to go beyond that, use Bittr Whales. This way we operate in line with Swiss regulations while still offering a straightforward entry into bitcoin.

Lower fees

Bittr Whales adds another benefit for anyone investing larger amounts: starting at an investment volume of 50,000 CHF, the Bittr fee is reduced by 33%.

Requirements

You need a valid ID (passport or national ID card), as well as proof of your place of residence (recent utility bill or government issued document). We will then ask a few questions about your financial situation (income, estimated wealth, planned volume with bittr etc.) and finally, we ask you to (digitally) sign a document confirming you will only be sending your own funds to bittr.

How to sign up

Go to https://whales.getbittr.com. Create an account (bittr whales is currently not connected to your regular Dashboard account!), log in, click “Get verified” and simply follow the steps.
