That's how Strike works. You can't change that.

Yep, you can go and market buy btc on the bitcoin tab if you want, but it’s another step. Also have to note that the btc on the bitcoin tab is not lightning and is withdrawn on-chain.
I use Strike about 3 - 4 times per week to send dollars to on-chain BTC in my cold storage and to pay lightning invoices, it's just the other way around that doesn't seem to do what I want it to do. Strike is amazing, but would be even better if I receive sats instead of dollars.
Just a tip/not sure if you are aware but, by withdrawing multiple times per week, you are creating multiple (I assume) smaller UTXOs, this could be costly in the future if fees rise or you are using multisig due to the input data size if you ever needed to consolidate or send in batch. However, everyone weighs their custodial risk differently. I prefer beefier UTXOs
I would reccomend using LNTipBot or Alby and interfacing with those wallets via the ably extension on browser and BlueWallet on mobile if you want to receive zaps and retain the bitcoin.
I use strike too but for a different use case outside of zaps.
Bluewallet is no more on lightning, now it's an on-chain wallet only.
Use Zeus wallet instead and interface that with ln.tips bot for optimal results.
This isn’t fully true, this is just for the custodial lightning wallet provided by blue.
All other wallet integrations using lndhub work fine and will not be affected by the sunsetting (lntip or alby)
Zeus works great too.
