Fold Bitcoin Credit Card
The cleanest bitcoin-rewards credit card structure on the market: flat 1.5% in BTC with no cap and no annual fee, up to 4% for engaged users. It is a credit product - bureau checks and reporting apply, and the variable APR punishes carried balances.
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.
