How Much Is A Bit On Twitch? (Bits To USD Calculator)

Bits are the inherent currency of Twitch, the world’s most renowned gaming-oriented live streaming platform.

These purchasable virtual goods have many uses, with the main one being Cheering – a method of supporting your favorite content creators and receiving rewards in return.

Wondering how much it costs to buy Bits on Twitch? We cover that and much more in the guide below.

Let’s get into it.

How Much Do Twitch Bits Cost?

Twitch Bits can cost differently based on how many you want to purchase at once. This is due to the discounts offered to those who buy larger amounts, in which case the price can be lowered by more than twelve percent.

The general concept is that one Twitch Bit should cost one cent, but due to other expenses such as VAT (Value Added Tax) being included, the final price is 1,4 cents per Twitch Bit, or one dollar and forty cents for hundred Bits.

But, there are also instances when Twitch decreases the cost for those who purchase Bits in bulk.

Twitch’s current payment plan allows discounted prices for the following purchases:

• 1.500 Bits + 5% Discount = $19.95
• 5.000 Bits + 8% Discount = $64.40
• 10.000 Bits + 10% Discount = $126.00
• 25.000 Bits + 12% Discount = $308.00

The first two purchase options on the list (100 Bits and 500 Bits) have no discount included.

Using Twitch Bits To Cheer

There are multiple ways to support Twitch streamers, such as subscribing to their channel with both regular and Prime subscriptions, donating money, and ultimately, cheering with Twitch Bits.

For many, cheering with Bits is the best way of donating, as there are benefits for both the streamer and the viewer.

When you cheer with Bits, for every bit donated, the streamer receives one cent. In return, you earn cool badges and other rewards, such as a place on a Top Cheerer leaderboard that many popular streamers have enabled on their channels.

Cheering on Twitch is easy, but if you’ve never done it before, take a look at the steps below that will guide you through the process with ease.

1. Open Twitch and click on a channel you wish to cheer for.
2. In the chat box, type in “cheer” followed by the number of Bits you wish to donate. For example, typing “cheer100” will send 100 Bits, and “cheer1000” will send 1000 Bits.
3. When you hit Enter on your keyboard to send the message, the donation will go through if you have enough Bits available in your account.

Note: You can also include a message along with your donation. For example, you can write: “cheer1000 Congratulations on the win! You’re my favorite streamer!” and send the message.

The higher the Bits amount you cheer with, the higher the chances that the streamer will notice and react to your donation.

Besides supporting the creator, Bits are also a great way to get your message viewed by the rest of the chat, even when it’s going too fast.
