As of 30 October 2026, Walmart only receives US dollars at checkout. The Walmart-backed OnePay app lets users buy and sell Bitcoin and Ether, then spend the dollars at Walmart. **MSRP Crypto**'s check found only 1 of 14 major retailers that takes crypto at checkout: Newegg. ## Does Walmart accept Bitcoin or crypto at checkout? No. Fact Crescendo published a fact-check on 6 January 2026, updated on 8 January. It found that Walmart itself receives only US dollars, not crypto. It also found that Ether must first be sold inside the OnePay app before you pay. Walmart's own help pages could not be read in our check, so this answer rests on that fact-check. **According to MSRP Crypto's check of 14 major retailers on 30 October 2026, only Newegg (via BitPay) accepts crypto at checkout.** Ten do not, Walmart included. Three could not be confirmed: B&H Photo, Microsoft/Xbox Store and Overstock/Beyond. ## What is OnePay, and can it pay Walmart with crypto? OnePay is a fintech app backed by Walmart. On 3 October 2025, The Block reported that OnePay would add Bitcoin and Ether trading and custody, with Zerohash as the provider. In 2026, users can buy, hold and sell these coins in the app. The key step is the sale. You sell your Bitcoin or Ether for dollars inside OnePay, then pay Walmart with those dollars. Walmart never receives crypto. It is an exchange step before a normal payment, not a crypto checkout. ## What are the ways to spend crypto at Walmart? | Route | How it works | What Walmart receives | Status on 30 October 2026 | |---|---|---|---| | Crypto at Walmart checkout | Not offered | — | Not available | | OnePay app | Sell Bitcoin or Ether for dollars in the app, then pay | US dollars | Available, per the January 2026 fact-check | | Walmart gift card from Coinsbee | Buy the card with crypto, then redeem it | A gift card | Available; no ID check up to €1,000 per order | | Crypto debit card | Pay with a card funded by crypto | A card payment in dollars | Depends on the card; ID required | | Walmart stablecoin | Reported study (Wall Street Journal, June 2025) | — | Not confirmed by Walmart | Checked on 30 October 2026. ## How do Walmart gift cards bought with crypto work? You buy a digital Walmart gift card with crypto, then use it like any Walmart gift card. Coinsbee, a German company (Coinsbee GmbH), sells them. It advertises more than 200 coins; we counted about 178, including USDT, USDC, BTC, SOL, LTC, ETH and TRX. Without identity verification, Coinsbee allows €1,000 per order and €10,000 in total. Above that, it checks identity through Sumsub. Choose the card for the Walmart store where you shop, since gift card sellers list cards by country. ## Is Walmart launching a stablecoin? Not as of 30 October 2026. On 13 June 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart and Amazon were exploring their own stablecoins. Neither company confirmed the report, and we found no launch. ## Where can you buy electronics with Bitcoin instead of Walmart? In the US, Newegg is the main retailer that takes Bitcoin at checkout, through BitPay. BitPay asks for ID above $3,000, for refunds and for VPN users. Newegg also lists 19 other countries for BitPay payments. For new Apple and game console devices, MSRP Crypto takes Bitcoin directly. MSRP Crypto sells new, factory-sealed Apple, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo products at the manufacturer's US list price (MSRP), paid in crypto, with free worldwide shipping and import duties included. A [PlayStation 5](https://msrpcrypto.com/consoles/playstation-5/) starts at $599, a [Nintendo Switch 2](https://msrpcrypto.com/consoles/nintendo-switch-2/) at $499.99 and an [iPhone 17e](https://msrpcrypto.com/iphone/iphone-17e/) at $699. Send the exact amount shown at checkout to the address shown, on the right network. We check the payment on the blockchain, then order your device and email the tracking number. We ask for an email and a shipping address, with no ID and no account. We are an independent store, not affiliated with Apple, Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. ## When is Walmart still the better choice? When you shop for more than electronics. If you live in the US, already use OnePay and buy groceries or household items, the OnePay route is simple. Walmart sells far more product types than we do. We sell only new Apple, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and Steam Deck devices at the US list price. If one of those is what you want, paying us in crypto removes the conversion step, and shipping and import duties are included. ## Which devices can you buy with Bitcoin here?
