This is the way.

I’ve been running my coaching business almost entirely in bitcoin for the last two years. Only one client wanted to pay in USD. Otherwise I don’t even put ACH as a payment option on invoices anymore.

Accounting/invoicing needed some getting used to. But holding BTC in the company has worked well. I pay fiat expenses out of pocket with a personal debit card and reimburse from the LLC twice a year in bitcoin. Expenses usually stay lower than income. So free cash flow accrues value. Distributions are paid out at the end of the year in bitcoin. nostr:note10y0zlwlszla2tp3reskqscd733ys6vcw7qarwcrnhpr4t3elc66s8q4gws

Wow. Really impressed by this. To hear of it happening in the wild is so exciting to me. I have had several pay me in bitcoin but nothing head turning yet. $100-200 at a time.

Thanks. I’ve been pretty intentional about working only with bitcoin startups. So they are usually comfortable with bitcoin. And this may be my German side coming out, but doing accounting for a profitable small business is more exciting to me than raising one VC round after another 😅

Are your clients using cc or email money transfer to a gateway that converts to btc and sends to your wallet?

I’m trying to remove some friction (teaching how to buy btc) here too.

Nope, they just send bitcoin on-chain to the company’s multi-sig.

Question about this, so do you strictly do on chain (ie not Lightning) for this? Been curious to see how folks have been handling lightning as a business.

Fees have been low enough for monthly invoices that on-chain works fine for now. Though I’m excited about migrating to BOLT12/BIP353 once offline payments are possible for self-custody Lightning.
