Receive Bitcoin (BTC)
Ready to receive BTC? Begin Wallet makes it simple and secure to generate a native SegWit (bc1...
) or Taproot (3...
) address so others can send Bitcoin directly to you.
Jamie walks you through how to find your BTC address and safely receive funds.
📥 Step-by-step: How to receive BTC
-
Open your Bitcoin wallet in Begin
Tap the BTC icon from your wallet home screen. -
Tap “Receive”
You’ll see your personal Bitcoin receiving address. -
Choose how to share it
- Copy address to your clipboard
- Show QR code for someone to scan
- Share via secure message or email
-
Wait for confirmations
- Once someone sends BTC, it will appear as “pending” until confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain.
- Typically, 1–6 confirmations are standard depending on network rules.
-
That’s it!
You’ll get notified once the BTC is confirmed and added to your balance.
✅ Jamie’s Notes
- Begin generates native SegWit (bech32) addresses that start with
bc1
. These are the most efficient and secure format. - You can generate a new receive address any time — all are linked to your wallet.
- Unlike Cardano, Bitcoin uses UTXOs — each incoming payment is a separate output you control.
- No memo or tag needed when receiving BTC.
