Bitcoin on Moon.com: what a BTC bet does at 10x, 100x and 1000x

Bitcoin is one of the markets that was live on Moon.com when we checked, and it is where the biggest win we have recorded happened. Sign up through our referral link, switch to play money, and you can watch BTC move at any leverage before you deposit. This page works through what a Bitcoin bet on Moon pays and costs at each leverage tier, where the liquidation line sits, and how the fees land on a BTC position that is held overnight.

Bitcoin on Moon.com: the bet in one paragraph

A Bitcoin bet on Moon is a call on direction. You open the BTC market, pick Up or Down, set a stake and a leverage multiplier anywhere from 1x to 1000x, and your profit or loss is the percentage move in Bitcoin’s price, multiplied by your leverage, applied to your stake. There is no coin to hold and nothing to withdraw to a wallet at the end; the bet settles in your Moon balance. Moon advertises the market as open 24/7, which for Bitcoin matches the underlying asset, since BTC trades around the clock.

Sign up through our referral link, flip the account into play money, and open BTC. Five minutes watching the price tick against a 100x position teaches more than any table below.

What a Bitcoin move pays at each leverage tier

The arithmetic is the same on every Moon market, so the only variable that is Bitcoin-specific is how far BTC actually moves. Take a $100 stake and a 1% move in Bitcoin’s price. Figures are gross, before the fees covered further down.

LeverageExposure1% move in your favour1% move against youLiquidation distance
1x$100+$1-$1100%
10x$1,000+$10-$1010%
50x$5,000+$50-$502%
100x$10,000+$100liquidated, -$1001%
500x$50,000+$500liquidated, -$1000.2%
1000x$100,000+$1,000liquidated, -$1000.1%

Read the last column first. At 1000x a Bitcoin move of 0.1% against your entry ends the bet. At a BTC price of $60,000 that is a $60 move, the kind that happens inside a minute on an ordinary day. At 100x the line is 1%, or $600. At 10x it is 10%, or $6,000, which is a move that takes days or weeks rather than minutes. The leverage guide has the full tier table and an interactive calculator; the liquidation guide explains how Moon closes the position when the line is hit.

The biggest Bitcoin bet we have seen

Our live pages record every large win and liquidation on Moon’s public feed. The largest win so far is a BTC long at 500x: a $69,300 stake, a 0.64% move in Bitcoin’s price, and a return of $223,211, a 4.19x multiple on the stake. It is on the biggest wins board with the trader and the date.

The same numbers describe the risk. At 500x the liquidation line is 0.2% from entry. Bitcoin moving 0.2% the wrong way first, before it moved 0.64% the right way, would have turned the same $69,300 into zero. The liquidations page lists the positions where that is what happened.

Fees on a Bitcoin bet

Moon charges the same four things on BTC as on every market. From its help centre and terms:

  • Opening fee: 1% of the stake. $1.00 on a $100 bet, at any leverage. Leverage changes your exposure, not this fee.
  • Holding fee: every 8 hours the bet stays open, at a dynamic rate Moon does not publish as a number. Because BTC trades 24/7, an overnight Bitcoin bet keeps accruing this while you sleep; the shorter the bet, the fewer of them it pays.
  • Performance fee: at least 10% of realized profit. Charged on winners only. On a $100 gross win it is $10.
  • Spread: Moon’s terms reserve a pricing edge in its favour. It is inside the price you bet at rather than a separate line, so the liquidation distances in the table above are the before-spread figures.

So the 100x row above, a $100 win on a 1% move, is about $89 in hand: $100 gross, less the $1 opening fee, less a $10 performance fee, with holding fees on top if the bet ran past eight hours. The fees guide works three full examples, and if you registered with our code, 3.5% of every one of those fees comes back as rakeback.

Sizing a Bitcoin bet on Moon

Three rules that follow from the table rather than from opinion.

Choose leverage from the move you expect, not from the payout. If you think BTC will move 2% today, 50x puts the liquidation line at 2% and 100x puts it at 1%, which is inside the normal noise of that same day. Lower leverage survives the noise.

Treat 500x and 1000x as minute-scale bets. At those tiers the liquidation line is 0.1% to 0.2% away, so the position either resolves fast or is closed by Moon fast. They are not positions to hold overnight, and the holding fee agrees.

Practise on play money first. Moon’s simulated balance refills to $100,000 without limit and uses the same BTC market and leverage ladder. Run twenty 100x bets there and count how many hit the line before they hit the target; the play money guide has a practice plan.

1000x on Bitcoin is a 0.1% bet

At 1000x, Bitcoin moving 0.1% against you ends the bet and the stake is gone, before spread and fees. Most trades at that tier on Moon lose. Only stake what you can afford to lose, and use play money until the speed of it is familiar.

Other Moon markets

Ethereum and Solana take the same bet with the same fee stack; the Ethereum page and Solana page cover them, and the markets guide lists everything that was live when we checked, including Apple and Tesla. Availability depends on where you are; the FAQ has the current list.

Frequently asked

Can you bet on Bitcoin on Moon.com?

Yes. Bitcoin (BTC) is one of more than 30 markets we have seen bets on; see /markets/ for the full list. You pick Up or Down, a stake and a leverage from 1x to 1000x.

What does a 1% Bitcoin move pay at 100x on Moon?

On a $100 stake at 100x, exposure is $10,000, so a 1% move in your direction is a $100 gross win, about $89 after the 1% opening fee and a 10% performance fee. A 1% move the other way liquidates the bet and the $100 stake is gone.

Is Bitcoin open 24/7 on Moon.com?

Bitcoin trades around the clock on the open market, and Moon advertises real-money betting 24/7, so a BTC bet can be opened or closed at any hour. Holding fees still accrue every 8 hours a bet stays open.

Where is the liquidation price on a Bitcoin bet at 1000x?

0.1% from your entry, before spread and fees. At $60,000 that is $60. At 100x it is 1% ($600), at 10x it is 10% ($6,000). The distance is 100 divided by the leverage, as a percentage of the entry price.

What is the biggest Bitcoin win recorded on Moon.com?

The largest win in our records is a BTC long at 500x: a $69,300 stake returned $223,211 on a 0.64% move. It is on our biggest-wins board with the date and the trader. The same move the other way would have been a full liquidation.

Can I practise Bitcoin bets on Moon for free?

Yes. Moon's play-money mode gives a simulated $100,000 balance that refills without limit, with the same Up/Down bets and leverage as real money. It is the sensible way to see how fast BTC moves at 100x before staking anything.
