What are Twitch Bits?
Twitch Bits are a virtual currency that viewers can purchase and use to support streamers on Twitch. When viewers "cheer" with Bits in chat, they display animated emotes and messages while directly supporting the streamer financially. Bits were introduced in 2016 as part of Amazon's strategy to keep donations within the Twitch platform, providing a safer alternative to third-party payment processors.
How Twitch Bits Work
Viewers buy Bits directly from Twitch using real money, then use them to cheer in their favorite streamers' chats. Each Bit is worth exactly $0.01 USD to the streamer, meaning 100 Bits equals $1.00. When you cheer, you can choose from various animated Cheermotes that get more elaborate as you cheer more Bits. Streamers can also set up Bit badges to recognize their top supporters.
How Much Does Twitch Take from Bits?
Twitch takes approximately 29-30% of Bits revenue through the purchase price markup. For example, viewers pay $1.40 for 100 Bits, but streamers only receive $1.00 (100 Bits × $0.01). The $0.40 difference goes to Twitch. However, bulk purchases offer discounts - buying 25,000 Bits at once reduces Twitch's cut to about 19%. This is still better than PayPal donations which can have chargebacks.
Bits vs Direct Donations
Bits offer several advantages over traditional PayPal donations. First, Bits cannot be charged back - once a viewer cheers, the streamer keeps that money. Second, Bits integrate seamlessly with Twitch chat through animated emotes and leaderboards. However, the 29-30% Twitch cut means streamers receive less per dollar spent by viewers. Many streamers accept both Bits and direct donations, letting viewers choose their preferred method.
