Twitch Bits 🔄 to USD
This Twitch Bits table shows the exact USD value that a streamer earns from common BIT amounts.
Twitch Bits are the platform’s built-in virtual currency, created to help viewers support their favorite streamers without ever leaving Twitch. Introduced in 2016, Bits were Twitch’s answer to third-party donation tools like PayPal, which left streamers vulnerable to chargebacks and random refund requests.
With Bits, viewers cheer directly in chat. Sending a live animated emote and boosting engagement. For every Bit used in your stream, you earn $0.01 USD, provided you're a Twitch Affiliate or Partner.
Bits are purchased directly through Twitch, and once a viewer owns them, they can spend them however they like. From celebrating hype moments to triggering custom sound alerts, votes, or stream interactions.
Because the entire system is handled on Twitch, streamers stay protected from payment fraud, while Twitch takes a small percentage on the viewer side. It’s cleaner, safer, and lets creators focus on content. Not disputes.
Prices vary slightly, but 100 Bits typically cost around $1.40 USD. Bigger bundles = better deals.
Yep. Bit revenue = taxable income. It’s on you to report it correctly in your country. Talk to an accountant if you’re unsure.
Streamers must be Twitch Affiliates or Partners. Once they hit the payout threshold (usually $100), Twitch sends payment via direct deposit, PayPal, or other supported methods.
Yes and no. Bits are safer for streamers because there are no chargebacks, and they’re fully integrated into Twitch. But direct donations (like PayPal) may give streamers a larger cut.
You can only use Bits to Cheer in channels that belong to Twitch Affiliates or Partners. Basically, streamers who can earn money on the platform.
You can purchase Bits directly through Twitch by visiting the Bits purchase page. Just choose the amount you want, complete the payment, and you’re ready to Cheer in chat.
