Como vender Bitcoin (BTC)

Selling Bitcoin is usually a fast process, but the exact timing depends on how and where you sell. On most major crypto exchanges like Bitget, your Bitcoin can be sold almost instantly once your sell order is matched, especially with market orders. If you're using a peer-to-peer marketplace, it might take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on buyer availability and payment speed. Selling Bitcoin at an ATM is typically completed in minutes, though receiving the cash or a bank transfer can sometimes take a little longer. Always double-check the transaction has fully settled before considering your sale complete.

Knowing when to sell Bitcoin is a personal decision and can depend on your own financial goals and risk tolerance. Many people watch price trends, key support and resistance levels, or even follow Bitcoin-related news for signals. If you've reached your profit target, need cash, or believe the market might turn, these could be good reasons to consider selling. Ultimately, there's no "perfect" time—just make sure you've done your homework or consulted with a financial expert before making big moves.

The cost of selling Bitcoin can vary depending on the platform and payout method you choose. Most exchanges like Bitget charge a small trading fee—usually a percentage of your sale amount. If you withdraw your earnings to a bank account or external wallet, you might encounter additional withdrawal fees or Bitcoin network ("miner") fees. These costs are generally transparent and can be viewed in the exchange's fee schedule, so it's wise to look at those before you sell to understand exactly how much you'll pocket.

It's important to know that in most countries, selling Bitcoin is subject to taxes—usually on any profits you make. Generally, there are no legal ways to completely avoid paying taxes unless you live in a country with no or limited crypto taxation, which is rare. Carefully track your transactions, consider holding your Bitcoin long-term for potential tax advantages, and consult a tax professional to make sure you're following local regulations and maximizing any legal tax strategies.

If you prefer the privacy and convenience of selling Bitcoin through an ATM, here's how it works: Find a nearby Bitcoin ATM that allows cash withdrawals. At the machine, select the "sell" or "withdraw cash" option and follow the instructions, which usually involve scanning a QR code and sending your Bitcoin to the ATM's provided wallet address. After the transaction is confirmed—sometimes it only takes a few minutes—the machine will either give you cash on the spot or provide a receipt for pickup. Be sure to review the ATM's fees and any daily limits before you start.
