Rumble has officially launched Bitcoin and cryptocurrency tipping, allowing its 51 million users to send direct payments to creators. The move transforms the video platform into a growing digital economy that merges content creation with cryptocurrency utility, offering Bitcoin a real-world use case beyond speculation.

The update fulfills CEO Chris Pavlovski’s vision announced nearly a year ago, following a massive $775 million investment from Tether. That deal not only boosted Rumble’s stock by 76% but also cemented a shared mission with Tether to promote decentralization and blockchain-based innovation.

Rumble’s integration of Bitcoin tipping builds on its earlier decision to allocate up to $20 million of its treasury into Bitcoin. By linking its financial strategy with creator monetization, the company is creating a closed-loop crypto ecosystem—one where Bitcoin moves from being a balance sheet asset to a practical, peer-to-peer payment tool driving a new era of decentralized creator economies.
