Bitcoin tipping is live on X—send and receive sats via BitBit & Lightning with full self-custody!

Bitcoin tipping is now live on X (formerly Twitter), powered by BitBit—the first social Bitcoin wallet—and Spark. This new feature enables approximately 500 million X users to receive Bitcoin tips (satoshis) directly to their own non-custodial wallets through the Lightning Network.

Designed as a **self-custodial solution**, users remain in full control of their keys and funds without a third-party holding their Bitcoin. BitBit handles wallet integration within the app, while Spark facilitates instantaneous satoshis transfers via Lightning.

This launch represents a major shift for social platforms, bringing seamless Bitcoin payments into everyday interactions on X. Unlike prior tipping options, this one emphasizes **user autonomy, borderless payments, and near-instant settlement**—all within a trusted user experience.

As Bitcoin adoption expands across social and digital spaces, this move helps normalize peer-to-peer digital currency use. With built-in Lightning support and non-custodial design, X tipping aims to make Bitcoin payments as frictionless as clicking a button—but always keeping users in control of their funds.
