Strike charges zero fees on recurring purchases (DCA) after the first week. Fee waiving for recurring purchases is not available for businesses.
For all other trades, Strike charges a fee tiered by your monthly fee level.
| Monthly fee level | Fee |
|---|---|
| <$250 | 1.29% |
| $250 - $1,000 | 1.19% |
| $1,000 - $5,000 | 0.99% |
| $5,000 - $50,000 | 0.89% |
| $50,000 - $500,000 | 0.79% |
| $500,000 - $5,000,000 | 0.69% |
| $5,000,000 - $15,000,000 | 0.59% |
| >$15,000,000 | 0.49% |
You can track your current level in the Strike app by visiting your Bitcoin screen and tapping the 
Bitcoin trading fee tracker.
How monthly fee levels work
Your monthly fee level is determined by the cumulative value of all bitcoin purchases and sales in the current calendar month, not the number of trades. This includes:
- One-time buys and sells
- Recurring purchases (DCA)
- The trading fees themselves
When a trade reaches or crosses a tier threshold, the lower rate applies to your entire trade. It's never split across tiers.
Your previous month's tier carries over as your starting level, so you always pay whichever tier is lower: last month's or the one your current transaction qualifies for. Monthly calculations reset to zero at 00:00 UTC on the 1st.
Example: moving between fee levels
If you bought $300 of bitcoin and later sold $200 of bitcoin in January:
- Your $300 purchase crosses $250 into the 2nd fee level, so it's charged at 1.19%
- Your $200 sale (cumulative now $500) stays in the 2nd fee level at 1.19%
- In February, you start at the 2nd fee level, or a lower one if your next trade qualifies
- If you don't trade in February, you reset to the 1st fee level on March 1st at 00:00 UTC
Example: how fees apply
| Scenario | Total transacted | Total fees |
|---|---|---|
| One $10,000 buy | $10,000 | $89.00 |
| Ten $1,000 buys across the month | $10,000 | $93.00 |
A single $10,000 buy immediately qualifies for the $5,000–$50,000 tier at 0.89%. Ten separate $1,000 buys would see the first four trades execute in the $1,000–$5,000 tier at 0.99% (4 × $9.90 = $39.60), and trades 5–10 in the $5,000–$50,000 tier at 0.89% (6 × $8.90 = $53.40).
Example: monthly fee levels vs. per-trade pricing
Under a per-trade pricing model, fees would be based on the size of each individual trade regardless of monthly volume. Ten $1,000 buys would each be charged at 0.99%, totaling $99.00 in fees.
With monthly fee levels, the same ten trades total $93.00 because cumulative volume pushes trades 5–10 into the 0.89% tier.
Spread
Your buy or sell price also includes a spread, which is the difference between the mid-point price shown on the bitcoin price chart and the price at which you trade. The spread is how liquidity providers and platforms like Strike are paid for filling your order instantly at the best available price. The spread can widen significantly during periods of high market volatility due to increased risk and reduced liquidity.
Strike targets an all-in spread of 0.22%. The actual spread on any given purchase or sale may be higher or lower, but it's always reflected in the buy or sell price you see. For example, if the mid-point price of bitcoin is $100,000, a spread near this target would mean buying from Strike at around $100,220.
