Also, contributions are much smaller than they are for a Bitcoin IRA. In 2018, the annual maximum contribution is $5,500 for those under the age of 50, while those age 50 and up can contribute an additional $1,000 for a total of $6,500 per year. Receiving Bitcoin. Open your Bitcoin.com wallet app and select Receive. Choose which wallet you want to receive Bitcoin to. Make sure you select a BCH wallet if you are receiving Bitcoin Cash or a BTC wallet if you are receiving Bitcoin. Your chosen wallet will generate an address that lets you receive coins.
Every so often at Coinmama, we get a question that makes us scratch our heads, rethink how we explain things, and go back to Bitcoin basics. Recently that question was “Can you tell me how to add money to Bitcoin wallet?”
The head scratching came from not being sure exactly what question was being asked. Was the user wondering how to buy Bitcoin or was he asking how to load his wallet with fiat (that is, with paper currency)? After some lively office debate over coffee and a few chocolate bars, we were reminded of something often repeated by teachers: if one person has a question, someone else is probably asking the same thing. And because here at Coinmama we like to think of ourselves as crypto teachers, we decided to tackle both questions and a few bonus topics as well.
First let’s rewrite the question:
How To Add Money To Bitcoin Account
Before you can ask “Can you tell me how to add money to Bitcoin wallet?” you need to ask, “Can I add money to my Bitcoin wallet?” The answer, much like our relationship with Coinpapa, is “It’s complicated.”
Let’s back up. A crypto wallet is a cross between your bank account and your mailbox for cryptocurrency—it’s the place where you can send, receive, and store coins, and it’s also where you can see a record of all of your transactions. But a crypto wallet is, by its very nature, for cryptocurrency.
So the answer to the question depends on what you mean by money. If by money you mean Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, then yes! You can buy Bitcoins and send them to your wallet (we’ll cover that in a second). But if by money you mean fiat currency, such as a Dollar, Euro, or Yen, then the answer is no. While on some exchanges you can link your credit card or bank account, that link is to the exchange and not to your wallet. In other words, you cannot add fiat to your crypto wallet.
How do you buy Bitcoin?
If our user was actually asking how to add (or buy) Bitcoin to their wallet, well that we can easily answer!
Step 1: get a bitcoin wallet
You can’t get cryptocurrency without a crypto wallet, so if you don’t already have one, that’s your first step. There are many, many crypto wallets you can choose from. Some live online, some live offline, some can be used to store several different cryptocurrencies, some only one or two. Many experienced crypto buyers spread their coins out over more than one wallet. The key to choosing a wallet is to do your research: learn which wallets support each coin, read the reviews, and then download the wallet or wallets of your choice.
Step 2: place an order
If you’re registered with Coinmama, once you have a wallet you can easily buy Bitcoin with your credit card, debit card, or SEPA bank account. (If you’re not registered, you can do that here.) Simply choose the amount of crypto you’d like to buy, add your payment details, and go to step 3!
Step 3: enter your wallet address
Here’s where things get interesting. Every wallet has both a public key and a private key, or two very, very long strings of numbers and letters. The public key is what other people can see: it’s what appears on the blockchain, and it’s also what you can give out in order to receive cryptocurrency. The private key is the password to your wallet. (Don’t lose it, because it can’t be reset, and don’t give it to anyone you wouldn’t also give your bank password to.) In order to send (or add) Bitcoin to your wallet, you will need to enter your public key—or wallet address, so that Coinmama can send you your coins. Once you do that, your work is basically done! You’ll just need to confirm your wallet address by email before you can sit back, relax, and wait for the Bitcoin to be added (or sent) to your wallet.
Coinmama’s Takeaway
At Coinmama, we’ve been around crypto long enough that we forget some people are new to it. It’s nice to get a head scratcher every once in a while, to remind us that for many people, crypto basics are not so basic, and to give us an excuse to answer questions we don’t normally get to answer 🙂

Treat a paper wallet like a piggy bank: Add funds as often as you like, but only import (or 'sweep') your funds once.
How to transfer bitcoins to a paper wallet
Open your live wallet software (e.g. Mycelium, Bread, Trezor) or web-based wallet (e.g. blockchain.info, coinbase.com) and send funds from your live wallet to the public address shown on your paper wallet. After transferring the funds, search for your public key on blockchain.info to see the progress of your transaction.
How to withdraw/spend bitcoins using a paper wallet
The way you will access your funds will be to 'import' or 'sweep' your paper wallet. This effectively transfers the coins from your paper wallet to a live wallet (e.g. Mycelium or Trezor) or to an exchange service (e.g. Coinbase.com). You should always sweep the complete balance, as it's generally not safe to try to spend just a portion of the funds on your paper wallet.
Virtually any wallet software or Bitcoin service that includes a 'import private key' or 'spend from cold storage' feature will accept the private key hidden beneath the folds of your paper wallet. However, not 100% of wallets have this feature. For example, Coinbase.com cannot directly sweep your paper wallet. In this case, it is recommended that you use software such as Mycelium (Android) or Bread (IOS) to sweep your paper wallet and send the funds to your Coinbase
Important note for BIP38-encrypted paper wallets
Not many bitcoin wallet applications or web services are able to directly import BIP38 password-protected private keys. In this case, you will have to use the 'Validate' feature on the generator to extract the unencrypted Wallet Import Format (WIF) key as an intermediate step before sweeping the balance.
