Rumble Partners With Tether to Introduce Bitcoin Tipping for 51 Million Users

Video-sharing platform Rumble is gearing up to launch Bitcoin tipping for its 51 million monthly users, in partnership with Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin. The new feature aims to make it easier for creators and viewers to send and receive Bitcoin tips directly on the platform, promoting broader crypto adoption in the creator economy.

The integration will allow users to support their favorite content creators instantly using Bitcoin, reflecting Rumble’s growing commitment to financial freedom and decentralized payment systems.

Analysts say the move could position Rumble as one of the first major social media platforms to embrace Bitcoin-based creator payments, setting a new precedent in the digital content space

Rumble to Launch Bitcoin Tipping by Mid-December in Partnership With Tether

Video-sharing platform Rumble is preparing to roll out Bitcoin tipping for its 51 million monthly users, marking a major step toward integrating cryptocurrency into mainstream content creation. The move comes through a strategic partnership with Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, to enable seamless Bitcoin transactions between viewers and creators.

CEO Chris Pavlovski announced the feature during the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland, confirming that Rumble is currently in the testing phase.

“Right now, we’re in the testing phase,” Pavlovski said. “We’re going to start rolling that out alongside Tether here in the coming weeks.”

Video-sharing platform Rumble is preparing to launch Bitcoin tipping for its 51 million monthly users in partnership with Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski announced the feature during the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland, confirming that the platform is currently testing the new tipping option.

“Right now, we’re in the testing phase,” Pavlovski said. “We’re going to start rolling that out alongside Tether here in the coming weeks.”

Launch Expected by Mid-December

Joining Pavlovski on stage, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed that the tipping feature is expected to go live by early to mid-December, following final user experience improvements and bug fixes.

Rumble later shared a demo on X (formerly Twitter), showing its first successful Bitcoin tip sent to Canadian creator David Freiheit, signaling the beginning of what could be a major breakthrough for Bitcoin’s real-world use in content platforms.

Analysts See the Move as a Milestone for Bitcoin’s Original Vision

Market analysts say the Rumble–Tether partnership could help Bitcoin reclaim its original purpose as a peer-to-peer payment system, a goal long emphasized by tech leaders like Jack Dorsey, who has cautioned that Bitcoin risks losing relevance if it isn’t used for everyday transactions.

Ardoino highlighted that the new tipping feature will empower global creators by enabling them to receive payments directly and securely—without the fear of being censored or deplatformed.

“Bitcoin and stablecoins can serve not only emerging markets but also the primary economy like the United States,” Ardoino said. “Creators will gain the security of knowing they won’t be debanked for what they say.”

Rumble Expands Its Crypto Push

Rumble has been steadily deepening its involvement in crypto. The platform partnered with MoonPay to integrate in-app crypto wallets and adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy in March, currently holding 210.8 BTC worth roughly $23.4 million, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.

If successful, this rollout could make Rumble one of the largest mainstream social platforms to integrate Bitcoin payments, potentially inspiring broader adoption across the online creator ecosystem.

Meanwhile, Tether, which invested $775 million in Rumble last December, continues to advocate for financial freedom and open markets. The company has also been laying the groundwork for its return to the U.S., planning a U.S.-regulated stablecoin under the USA₮ brand—part of its mission to strengthen the role of the U.S. dollar in digital markets.
