How to Pay for Claude Pro With Crypto (USDT)
Pay for Claude Pro or Max with USDT or USDC via the Matrimix Premium virtual Visa: steps, fees, 3DS codes in Telegram and what can go wrong.
Contents
Anthropic sells Claude Pro and the higher Max plans for card payment only. To pay from a USDT or USDC balance you need a card funded with stablecoins. In Matrimix that is the Premium card: a virtual Visa in US dollars, issued and topped up inside Telegram, with no per-purchase fee. This guide covers the steps, Matrimix fees and the limitations worth knowing in advance.
Which card to choose
There is nothing to choose: Matrimix has one card — Premium — and it works for everything.
| Parameter | Premium |
|---|---|
| Network and currency | Visa, balance in US dollars |
| Issued in | Singapore, number starts with 4 |
| What it is for | subscriptions (Claude, ChatGPT, Netflix), AI tools, advertising, cloud, travel, one-off purchases |
| Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay | yes |
| Per-purchase fee | $0 |
| Validity and PIN | 2 years, no PIN |
The issue price and the top-up fee are on the cards page.
Step by step
- Put stablecoins in the wallet. Top up the Matrimix wallet with USDT (TRC20, TON, Solana, ERC20, BEP20) or USDC (Solana, ERC20). Deposits are free; the sending network charges its own fee.
- Issue the Premium card. In the Mini App open Cards, choose Premium and a starting balance. The full price is shown before you confirm.
- Open billing in Claude. On claude.ai choose to upgrade, or open billing in settings, and pick the plan. Check the current price there: it depends on the plan, taxes and the card's country.
- Enter the details. Copy the number, expiry and CVV from the Mini App. No cardholder name is tied to the card — type your own in Latin letters. If the form asks for an address, use a Singapore one: the card's country is Singapore.
- Confirm 3DS. If a confirmation code is requested, it arrives in the Matrimix bot in Telegram.
- Mind the renewal. Claude renews monthly or yearly from the same card. Keep enough balance and top up in advance.
Fees
- Card issue: one-off; current price on the cards page.
- Top-up fee: a percentage of the starting balance and of every top-up; the exact amount is shown in the app before you confirm.
- Purchase: $0 — no Matrimix fee on any Claude renewal.
- Merchant refund: the issuer keeps 8% of the refunded amount.
- Currency: the card balance is in USD; charges in other currencies are converted at the Visa rate.
Good to know
- Each merchant decides. Whether a card is accepted is up to the merchant and its payment provider. There is no guarantee for any specific service. If Claude declines the card, the money stays on it.
- Service availability. The card does not change where Claude works. Anthropic decides which countries the service is available in; follow its rules.
- Buying in the mobile app. A subscription inside the iOS or Android app goes through Apple or Google billing with their own card-country rules. Paying on the website is simpler.
- Not enough balance at renewal. A failed renewal can pause the subscription. Top up a few days before the date.
- Blocked categories. Casinos and betting, adult sites, buying crypto and forex are declined, and the issuer may block the card. Claude and other AI tools are not among them.
