How to pay for AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney) with crypto
Pay for AI subscriptions and API credits like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney using a crypto-funded virtual card.
Most AI products (ChatGPT Plus, Claude, Midjourney, and pay-as-you-go APIs) bill to a card. Skope lets you pay with a virtual Visa funded by crypto, which is handy for API credits and team subscriptions.
Steps
- Connect a wallet on Base (or bridge/swap in funds during the funding step).
- Choose how much you want on the card in USD.
- Pay with USDC, or borrow USDC against crypto you'd rather keep.
- Generate the virtual Visa card and use its number to pay for your AI subscription or API credits.
Things to know
- Usage-based APIs can bill variable amounts, so keep enough balance or generate a fresh card per budget cycle.
- Recurring subscriptions need a balance available at each renewal; the card is non-reloadable, so plan top-ups.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I pay for the OpenAI or Anthropic API with crypto?
- These APIs charge a card on file. A crypto-funded virtual Visa from Skope can serve as that card, subject to the provider accepting prepaid cards.
