Coinbase has teamed up with American Express to launch a new credit card that rewards users with bitcoin for their everyday spending. Available to Coinbase One subscribers in the U.S., the card offers up to 4% back in bitcoin on purchases and is issued in partnership with fintech firm Cardless and First Electronic Bank.
The card itself is a sleek metal design, engraved with a fragment of Bitcoin’s genesis block—an homage to the cryptocurrency’s origin. A waitlist for the card is now open, signaling high demand from crypto enthusiasts eager to earn digital assets through daily transactions.
More than just a rewards tool, the card also taps into the American Express Network, providing users with exclusive access to offers, events, and purchase protections traditionally associated with AmEx cards.
Coinbase One, the platform’s premium subscription, is expanding to include a new entry-level tier priced at $4.99 per month or $49.99 annually. This tier offers bitcoin rewards, zero trading fees, and boosted staking benefits, making it more accessible for users seeking everyday crypto benefits.
This launch marks another step in Coinbase’s broader effort to integrate cryptocurrency into mainstream financial products, offering more ways for consumers to earn and interact with digital assets beyond trading.
