We ran the numbers. Paying in stablecoins using Lendaswap is actually cheaper than using Bitcoin directly on Bitrefill.
Same item. Same site. You just save more sats.
The Test
We compared the cost of purchasing the same gift card on Bitrefill using two methods:
| Payment Method | Result |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin (direct) | Base price |
| Stablecoins via Lendaswap | 0.1% cheaper |
That 0.1% might sound small, but sats stack harder when you're paying smart.

Why Is Lendaswap Cheaper?
When you pay with Bitcoin directly on Bitrefill, you're subject to:
- Bitcoin network fees
- Exchange rate spreads
- Payment processing overhead
With Lendaswap, the atomic swap mechanism and Lightning Network efficiency reduce these costs - and those savings get passed on to you.
How to Save on Your Next Bitrefill Purchase
Step 1: Swap BTC to USDC
Head to Lendaswap and swap your Bitcoin Lightning to USDC on Polygon.
Step 2: Pay with Stablecoins
Use your USDC to purchase on Bitrefill or any merchant that accepts stablecoins.
Step 3: Stack More Sats
The 0.1% you saved? That's more Bitcoin staying in your wallet.
The Math
Let's say you're buying a $100 gift card:
- Bitcoin direct: $100.00
- Via Lendaswap: $99.90
Save $0.10 per $100 spent. Over a year of purchases, that adds up.
Every Sat Counts
In a world where every satoshi matters, optimizing your payment method is just smart Bitcoin strategy. Lendaswap doesn't just give you trustless swaps - it gives you savings.
