The US Treasury bond method is one of the ways Bitso generates your Earnings gains. When you activate Earnings and hold an eligible balance, your funds are invested in US Treasury bonds, and your gains are deposited automatically every Monday.

What are US Treasury bonds?

US Treasury bonds are short-term debt instruments issued by the United States government. They're considered one of the safest investments available because the US Department of the Treasury backs them.

Bitso manages the investment and deposits your gains automatically. You don't need to buy, manage, or track the bonds yourself.

How the rate works

• Your rate depends on the tier your balance falls into. The more you hold in your Bitso account, the higher your rate.
• Gains are deposited automatically every Monday.
• You don't need to do anything beyond holding an eligible asset in your account.

Check the tier structure in the app to see your current rate and how much you could earn.

Are there risks?

US Treasury bonds are one of the safest ways to generate passive income, but no investment is completely risk free. Interest rates can change over time, which can affect future gains.
