Swap Solana (SOL) to Bitcoin (BTC)
Swapping Solana (SOL) to Bitcoin (BTC) moves value from Solana’s fast account-based network into native Bitcoin without using a custodial exchange balance. Monivo compares live routes from connected providers, and the provider you select receives SOL and pays BTC directly to your Bitcoin wallet.
How to swap Solana for Bitcoin
To swap Solana (SOL) for Bitcoin (BTC), enter the amount you want to send and compare the live provider quotes shown by Monivo.

- 1. Enter the amount of SOL to swap.
- 2. Paste your Bitcoin wallet address.
- 3. Pick a fixed or floating rate.
- 4. Send SOL to the one-time deposit address.
- 5. Receive BTC in your wallet.
SOL → BTC routing details
Monivo requests quotes from every connected liquidity provider for this route and shows the one that pays out the most BTC. The amount shown is an estimate that depends on the rate type you pick and the provider's own terms; it is confirmed in the widget above before you send anything, with zero added fees on top of the rate you see. The selected provider receives your deposit and settles the payout.

Fixed rate or floating rate for SOL → BTC?
Fixed rate
The BTC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your SOL deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
Floating rate
The swap executes at the market rate when your SOL deposit lands. It can pay out more BTC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
What to check before swapping SOL to BTC
A SOL to BTC exchange is a cross-chain route, not a bridge. Confirm that the source is native SOL, enter a native Bitcoin destination, and use the displayed payout and rate type to compare the providers that can quote the route now.
- Send native SOL on Solana
- Use the Solana network selected in the widget and send from a wallet holding native SOL. Do not substitute a wrapped SOL token on another chain for the quoted deposit asset.
- Check the Bitcoin destination
- The payout is native BTC, so the receiving wallet must accept Bitcoin-network deposits. Verify the address in the destination wallet rather than copying an address from a different chain or exchange network.
- Choose certainty or market exposure
- A fixed quote follows the provider’s deposit window and conditions; a floating quote can change before execution. Compare the estimated BTC output and read the quote details before sending SOL.

Network fees explained
Sending SOL
Your Solana wallet charges the source-chain transaction fee when it sends SOL to the provider’s one-time deposit address. Check that you are sending native SOL on Solana and keep enough SOL in the wallet to broadcast the transfer.
Receiving BTC
The selected provider broadcasts the Bitcoin payout to the address you supply. The estimated receive amount reflects the provider’s quote and applicable payout costs; later BTC transactions from your wallet will require their own Bitcoin miner fee.

Fees and pricing
