Remote workers and digital nomads can now pay rent with Bitcoin (BTC) in major cities and coastal tourist destinations. Thanks to the development of blockchain-based rental platforms and smart contract technologies, Bitcoin has now become a practical payment method beyond a mere investment asset.
In major cities worldwide such as Miami, Lisbon, Berlin, Toronto, and Paris, BTC rental is gradually becoming commonplace. In particular, a direct wallet-to-wallet Bitcoin transaction in a luxury condo complex in the Wynwood area of Miami in April drew significant attention. Factors such as transaction speed, transparency, and customized payment methods are driving the spread of BTC-based rentals.
Automating lease contracts through blockchain smart contracts can standardize payment dates and deposit conditions, and significantly reduce potential disputes. Especially for international rental transactions, using Bitcoin allows almost instant settlement without transfer delays or bank fees, and avoids cumbersome currency exchange costs. For example, as of July 2025, the average Bitcoin transaction fee is around $1.064 (approximately 1,478 won), which is much lower compared to traditional banks.
As demand increases, Bitcoin rental payments are largely divided into two methods. First is the direct payment method, where tenants directly transfer Bitcoin to the landlord's digital wallet. While cost-effective and fast, it carries some risks in regions with price volatility and incomplete tax processing. Second is the indirect payment method, where tenants pay with cryptocurrency through third-party services like Coinbase Commerce, while landlords receive rent in legal tender such as US dollars or euros. This method helps avoid relatively complex regulations and can clearly record financial records, making it advantageous for landlords unfamiliar with Bitcoin.
Global co-living networks are also joining this trend. Rental services targeting blockchain and digital asset experts have fully adopted Bitcoin payments to actively attract demand segments seeking to bypass traditional financial systems.
Miami, in particular, is noted as a symbolic city for Bitcoin rental expansion. As the host of Bitcoin conferences, the city's administration is strongly implementing cryptocurrency-friendly policies. Former Mayor Francis Suarez is a representative politician who received his mayoral salary in Bitcoin. In Miami's main residential areas like Wynwood, Brickell, and Downtown, some developers are accepting cryptocurrency payments, and cases of tenants and landlords signing monthly rent contracts in Bitcoin are increasingly emerging if conditions can be negotiated.
The fact that Bitcoin-based local rental systems are taking root in small regions worldwide such as El Zonte and Rosario shows that this trend is moving beyond mere experimentation. As blockchain technology becomes more standardized in the future, the possibility of creating a global rental market centered on Bitcoin or stablecoins is growing.
