Yes. eToro lets you buy a fraction of Bitcoin. No need to shell out for a full coin because you can start with as little as $10. You’re not buying whole units; you're investing a dollar amount. It’s a good way to dip into crypto without going all in. Perfect if you're just getting started or testing a strategy.

 

How it works

  1. Open an eToro account and fund it using the supported payment methods (e.g. debit card, bank transfer, e-wallet, etc.).
  2. Type “Bitcoin (BTC)” into the search bar.
  3. Click “Trade” and enter how much you want to invest: $50, $100, whatever works.
  4. Hit submit. eToro will buy the exact fraction of Bitcoin at the current market price.

Let’s say Bitcoin is trading at $118,860.31. You put in $100. That gets you roughly 0.0008 BTC. Simple. And just like a whole coin, that slice follows the same price movements: if Bitcoin climbs, so does the value of your share.

Fees and transparency

You’ll pay a flat 1% commission on every crypto trade, buy or sell. There’s also a spread (the gap between buying and selling prices) and potential currency conversion fees.

All costs are clearly shown before you place the trade.

 

Post-purchase options

You can keep your BTC on eToro or move it.

In supported regions, transfer it to the eToro Money crypto wallet or even to an external one.

Just note: withdrawal and network fees apply if you send it off-platform.

 

What I like about this setup is how beginner-friendly it is. You don’t need to be a seasoned trader (or drop a ton of cash for that matter) to get started.

And guess what? Fractional buying is not just for Bitcoin. You can do it with any crypto on eToro (Ethereum, Ripple, etc.). Just type in the amount you want to spend, and the platform does the math instantly.
