Send Bitcoin
Send Bitcoin (BTC)
Sending Bitcoin from your Begin Wallet is fast, secure, and UTXO-optimized. You’ll use a native SegWit address (starts with bc1
) and always get a preview of your network fee before confirming the transaction.
Let Jamie show you how it's done.
🚀 Step-by-step: How to send BTC
-
Tap “Send” on your Bitcoin wallet
Make sure you’re in the BTC wallet view, then tap the Send button. -
Paste or scan the recipient’s address
- Use a QR code or paste it from your clipboard.
- Begin supports bech32 (native SegWit) addresses only.
-
Enter the amount of BTC
- You can also toggle to see the equivalent in your local currency.
-
Review and set the network fee
- Fees vary by network activity — Begin automatically estimates optimal fee levels (low / standard / high).
- You can override this if desired.
-
Confirm the transaction
- You’ll see a preview including recipient, amount, fee, and total.
- Use biometrics or passcode to confirm.
-
Done!
- Your transaction is signed and broadcasted.
- You can tap it in your activity view to follow its progress.
✅ Jamie’s Notes
- Begin uses native SegWit (bech32) for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Bitcoin uses a UTXO model, so you may see “change” outputs — this is normal.
- If your wallet is secured with a Ledger or Keystone device, you'll be prompted to sign the transaction there.
