Bitcoin for Canadian Realtors
Real estate transactions are the largest financial events in most Canadians' lives.
When a client sells a property and the proceeds land in their account, they face a question: where does this money go?
Increasingly, the answer for some clients is Bitcoin. And the realtors who know how to facilitate that conversation are adding significant value.
What Realtors Need to Know About Bitcoin
Bitcoin is legal and regulated in Canada. Bitcoin platforms operating in Canada must be registered as Money Services Businesses with FINTRAC. 1Bitcoin.ca is fully registered.
It’s non-custodial. When clients buy through 1Bitcoin.ca, Bitcoin goes directly to their own wallet. No platform holds it on their behalf.
It’s Bitcoin-only. No altcoins, no crypto speculation. Just Bitcoin — the asset with a fixed supply that many clients are asking about.
The Bricks to Bits Opportunity
The concept: help clients convert real estate proceeds into Bitcoin as part of their post-transaction plan.
Scenario: Client sells a home in Oakville for $900,000. After paying off the mortgage and expenses, $400,000 lands in their account. They’ve asked you about Bitcoin. What do you tell them?
That’s a conversation only a knowledgeable realtor can have. And 1Bitcoin.ca makes it easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to recommend Bitcoin to clients?
You are not providing investment advice — you are referring clients to a regulated, FINTRAC-registered platform. The client makes their own decision.
What if clients ask me about Bitcoin price?
Refer them to current market data at coinmarketcap.com or coindesk.com. Your role is facilitating the introduction, not predicting markets.
