Toyosa adds BTC alongside USDT for Toyota purchases

Toyosa has introduced Bitcoin as a payment option for Toyota vehicle purchases in Bolivia, expanding its digital-asset checkout service one year after launching USDT payments. Summary Toyosa now accepts Bitcoin for Toyota purchases, adding BTC alongside bolivianos, dollars, and USDT payments. Towerbank provides transaction processing, while BitGo supplies institutional wallet infrastructure, security, and traceability for payments. Bolivia removed its crypto payment-channel ban in 2024, enabling regulated financial institutions to expand services. Toyosa introduced USDT payments in 2025, supported by BitGo, Towerbank, and Tether infrastructure for customers. BitGo lists Expocruz in Santa Cruz among its September 2026 events, confirming its local presence. Eju TV reported that the company unveiled the Bitcoin service on Sept. 18 at Expocruz 2026 in Santa Cruz, where Toyosa said customers could now choose BTC alongside bolivianos, U.S. dollars and Tether’s USDT when purchasing a Toyota. BitGo confirmed the arrangement on Sept. 20, saying BitGo Bank & Trust supplied the institutional-grade digital asset wallet infrastructure behind Toyosa’s Bitcoin payment service. Its event calendar places the company at Expocruz from Sept. 18 through Sept. 21, providing separate confirmation of its presence in Santa Cruz during the launch.

In September 2025, Toyosa worked with BitGo, Towerbank and Tether to let customers purchase vehicles, parts and services using USDT. The original system connected BitGo’s wallet and custody infrastructure with Toyosa’s point-of-sale environment. According to BitGo, customers could use USDT for high-value purchases while the digital-asset infrastructure handled wallet security and settlement support. Toyosa’s existing online payment page still describes the USDT workflow. Customers first obtain a quotation, select a supported blockchain network and scan a QR code from a crypto wallet. The page lists Ethereum and Tron among supported USDT networks and identifies Towerbank as the financial partner and BitGo as the blockchain technology provider. The public page reviewed on Sept. 20 had not yet been updated with a separate Bitcoin checkout guide, even though Toyosa and BitGo had announced that BTC purchases were available. Neither company had publicly disclosed supported Bitcoin wallet types, confirmation requirements, exchange-rate methodology or whether customers face transaction limits. Toyosa did not publish a Bitcoin sales total or identify a first BTC vehicle buyer in the materials reviewed.
