Toyosa adds Bitcoin payments for Toyota purchases in Bolivia

Toyosa has expanded its digital‑asset checkout service in Bolivia to include Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment option for new Toyota vehicles. The launch follows a 2025 rollout that allowed purchases with the stablecoin USDT.

How the Bitcoin checkout works

Customers can select BTC alongside bolivianos, U.S. dollars and USDT at the point of sale. Towerbank supplies the transaction‑processing platform, while BitGo Bank & Trust provides the institutional‑grade wallet infrastructure, security and traceability for the Bitcoin payments.

Background of Toyosa’s crypto payments

In September 2025, Toyosa introduced a USDT‑based payment system in partnership with BitGo, Towerbank and Tether. The service linked BitGo’s custody solution to Toyosa’s point‑of‑sale environment, enabling high‑value purchases with the stablecoin.

Regulatory context in Bolivia

Bolivia lifted its ban on crypto payment channels in June 2024, allowing regulated financial institutions to process virtual‑asset transactions. The boliviano remains the sole legal tender, and acceptance of crypto assets is voluntary.

Current status and missing details

While Toyosa and BitGo have confirmed that Bitcoin payments are available, public information does not yet disclose supported wallet types, exchange‑rate methodology, transaction limits or whether BTC is automatically converted to fiat after each sale.

Local reaction

During the launch at Expocruz 2026 in Santa Cruz, Toyosa’s AI director highlighted the symbolic link between Bolivia’s historic silver trade and the new Bitcoin option.
