So... I'm looking at fees in Strike...
The Strike fee is charged when you purchase bitcoin. That's how Strike makes money.
It's lower if you use your bank account via ACH vs using a debit/credit card.
It also lowers with larger purchases, but whatever your current level may be, your ACH purchases incurr the same fee whether you use direct deposit or make a random purchase.
I was mistakenly under the impression that the fee would be lowered if you initiate direct deposit. It turns out that is not the case.
But, your Strike fee goes to zero when you set up recurring purchases from your bank account, starting with the 2nd purchase.
So... it seems to make more sense to use recurring purchases timed with your payroll, rather than using direct deposit.
Just a heads up.
