Withdrawal guide ¡ Updated for 2026

How to withdraw your bitcoin

By the CloudMineCrypto teamUpdated 7 min read

The short answer

In the app, open Wallet → Withdraw and pick a network: Lightning, Bitcoin on-chain or BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20). Paste an address from your own wallet or exchange for that same network, enter an amount above the minimum and confirm. You’ll need a Google or Apple login and a verified email. The network fee comes out of the amount you send.

Key takeaways

  • Your bitcoin goes to your own wallet or exchange. You pick the network and paste the address.
  • The network in the app has to match the one on your wallet or exchange’s deposit screen.
  • Lightning is the quick, cheap option for small balances. On-chain works almost everywhere.
  • Fee, minimum and maximum are on screen before you confirm. Most requests go through automatically; some get a review.

Please use a regular, non-disposable email. Limits per account or per period and anti-abuse checks may also apply. These are part of the reward rules and Terms.

Which withdrawal network should you choose?

Three networks, with availability shown in the app. They differ in fee, minimum, speed and the kind of address they take, and your destination must support the one you pick.

0.00000010BTC

Lightning

Lowest minimum and fee, arrives in seconds. Best for small balances. Invoices can expire, and a fixed-amount invoice must match what you send.

0.00009408BTC

Bitcoin on-chain

A regular Bitcoin transaction. Every wallet and exchange takes it, but the fee (now 0.00004704BTC) and minimum are higher, so it suits larger amounts.

0.00002362BTC

BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)

Sends BTC as a BEP-20 token, not native bitcoin. Use it only if your destination credits BTC on BSC. Some wallets need the token added first.

Definition ¡ Lightning Network

A payment network on top of Bitcoin that settles small payments almost instantly and for very little. You receive with a Lightning address (looks like an email, e.g. [email protected]) or a Lightning invoice (a long code starting with lnbc).

Should you withdraw to an exchange or your own wallet?

Both work. The real difference is who holds the keys to the coins once they land.

Custodial

Exchange account

  • Easy to sell or convert BTC
  • Password reset if you forget your login
  • Their sign-up checks, deposit minimums and fees apply

Self-custody

Your own wallet app

  • Nobody can freeze or move your coins
  • Usually no sign-up to receive
  • Lose the recovery phrase and nobody can restore the funds

Definition ¡ Self-custody wallet

A wallet where only you hold the private keys, usually backed up as a 12 or 24 word recovery phrase. If you lose it, nobody (not us, not the wallet maker) can recover the funds.

Exchanges and wallets are independent services with their own fees, terms and country availability. bitcoin.org’s wallet chooser is a good neutral starting point.

How do you withdraw to an exchange?

  1. On the exchange, open Deposit, choose Bitcoin (BTC) and pick the network: Lightning, Bitcoin or BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).
  2. Copy the deposit address or Lightning invoice it shows.
  3. In CloudMineCrypto, open Wallet → Withdraw and choose the same network.
  4. Paste, enter the amount and check everything before you confirm.
  5. Once sent, it shows up in the exchange’s deposit history. If it’s late, check its pending status there first.

How do you withdraw to your own Bitcoin wallet?

  1. In your wallet app, tap Receive. Pick Lightning if it supports it, or an on-chain Bitcoin address.
  2. Copy the address or invoice. Never type it by hand.
  3. In CloudMineCrypto: Wallet → Withdraw, the same network, paste, amount, confirm.
  4. Once sent, the payment appears in your wallet. On-chain payments show as pending until they’re in a block.

Lightning wallets such as ZBD or Wallet of Satoshi are an easy start for small amounts, and most mainstream wallets handle on-chain. We aren’t affiliated with any of them, so check a wallet’s features and terms first.

Step-by-step guides for your wallet or exchange

Pick a network and where you want to receive, and you get a guide with screenshots of both apps, for example Lightning to ZBD or Bitcoin on-chain to Kraken.

How long does a withdrawal take?

After you confirm, the request is validated. Most are processed automatically; some wait for a manual review (limits, anti-abuse checks or identity verification), which takes longer. Once the payment is sent, the network decides the rest:

From “sent” to “arrived”

Lightning
seconds
BNB Smart Chain
minutes
Bitcoin on-chain
minutes to hours
Typical times after the payment is sent. Before that, the request is validated; most go through automatically and some wait for a review. On-chain time depends on block confirmations (about one block every 10 minutes) and how many the destination asks for.

Why is my withdrawal not working?

What you seeWhat to do
Email needs to be verifiedTap the button next to the error to get the verification email, open the link (check spam) and try again.
Login needs to be addedAdd a Google or Apple login to your account, then retry.
Below minimum amountThe minimum is shown under the amount field. Pick a network whose minimum you meet (often Lightning) or wait for a higher balance.
Above maximum amountWithdraw up to the maximum shown, or use a network with no per-request maximum. Limits per account or period may also apply.
Invalid address or invoiceIt has to be for the network you picked. Copy it again in full: a Bitcoin address, a Lightning invoice and a 0x address aren’t interchangeable.
Lightning invoice expiredMake a new invoice and retry. If it has a fixed amount, withdraw exactly that.
Received less than expectedThe network fee comes out of the amount sent. Also compare in the same unit (BTC or sats).
Not arrived yetCheck the request status in the app, then the destination’s deposit history. On-chain payments need confirmations first.

Still stuck? Email [email protected] with the network, the time of the request and what you see. We’ll never ask for your recovery phrase or passwords.

How do you keep a withdrawal safe?

First time? Send a small amount first. For background, see the guide to Bitcoin mining or how much bitcoin you can mine.

Frequently asked questions

How do I withdraw bitcoin from CloudMineCrypto?

Open the Wallet tab and tap Withdraw. Pick a network (Lightning, Bitcoin on-chain or BNB Smart Chain BEP-20), paste an address or invoice for that same network from your own wallet or exchange, enter the amount and confirm.

What is the minimum withdrawal?

Each network has its own minimum, and some have a maximum per request. The withdraw screen shows them once you pick a network, and this page shows them from live data. Lightning usually has the lowest minimum and fee.

Why did I receive less than I withdrew?

The network fee comes out of the amount you send, and the app shows it before you confirm. Also check that your wallet and the app show the same unit (BTC or sats). You can change the app’s unit with Format on the Wallet screen.

How long does a withdrawal take?

Most requests are processed automatically once validated; some need a review first. After sending, Lightning usually arrives in seconds, BNB Smart Chain in minutes, and Bitcoin on-chain after block confirmations, which can take minutes to hours.

Do I need to verify my identity (KYC)?

Not always. Depending on your country, account activity or the amount, identity verification or other checks may be needed before a withdrawal is processed. The app tells you if anything is needed. Terms apply.

Can I withdraw without buying anything?

Yes. Rewards from free, ad, offer, game and check-in plans can be withdrawn once your balance reaches the minimum for your network and the other requirements are met.

What happens if I pick the wrong network?

Crypto transfers usually can’t be reversed, and funds sent on a network the destination doesn’t support may be lost. Always pick the same network in the app as on your wallet or exchange’s deposit screen.
