Bits to USD: How Much Do Twitch Streamers Make from Bits?

Twitch streamers make $1.00 for every 100 bits they receive. This means 1,000 bits = $10, 10,000 bits = $100, and 25,000 bits = $250. The conversion rate is fixed: 1 bit = $0.01 for streamers. Viewers pay slightly more when purchasing bits (about $1.40 per 100 bits), with Twitch keeping the difference as their cut.

1,000 bits equals $10.00 for the streamer. When viewers purchase 1,000 bits, they pay approximately $14.00, with Twitch keeping the $4.00 markup. This is a fixed rate - you'll always earn exactly $0.01 per bit received.

10,000 bits equals $100.00 for streamers. This is one of the most common bit packages purchased. Viewers pay around $140 for 10,000 bits, with the streamer receiving the full $100 and Twitch keeping their commission.

Bits are Twitch's virtual currency. Viewers purchase bits from Twitch at a markup (e.g., 100 bits costs $1.40). They then cheer these bits in streamers' chats to show support. Streamers receive $1.00 for every 100 bits cheered. Twitch keeps the difference between what viewers pay and what streamers receive.

You make exactly $0.01 per bit received. For reference: 500 bits = $5, 1,000 bits = $10, 5,000 bits = $50, 10,000 bits = $100, and 100,000 bits = $1,000. Most streamers earn between $50-$500 per month from bits, though top streamers can earn thousands.
