What is a Bitcoin address?

A Bitcoin address is a long identifier representing the person or destination that is looking to receive bitcoin (including yourself). Like a street address, the Bitcoin address tells the network where you want your bitcoin to go. Our ATMs need an address to know where to send the bitcoin you purchase.

Bitcoin addresses are generated by Bitcoin wallets and formatted in a particular way. Here are examples of the three currently valid types of Bitcoin addresses (i.e., beginning with 1, 3, or bc1). Do not use these yourself:
