Pick Cash App Card if

Pick Moon if
- Known fee stack (3.0 vs 0.0 % equivalents on a $500/mo profile)
- Lighter KYC (Basic KYC vs Full KYC)
- Lightning funding that actually loads the card
Cash App Card
The most mainstream way to hold BTC next to a Visa debit - but the card itself never touches bitcoin: every spend requires selling first, which is a taxable event per transaction. Use it for the Boosts and the frictionless BTC auto-investing, not for crypto-native spending.
Moon
Watch - do not load funds. The Lightning-funded virtual card worked until late November 2025, then cards were blocked en masse and withdrawals stalled (documented cases). Support has gone silent while the site still markets the product.
