What Are Twitch Bits?
Twitch Bits are the platform’s virtual currency. Viewers buy Bits directly from Twitch and use them to cheer in chat, sending an animated emote and a message to support a streamer.
Bits were introduced in 2016 as a way to keep viewer support inside Twitch instead of routing everything through third-party services like PayPal. For streamers, they are one of the most direct forms of on-platform income alongside subscriptions.
When a viewer cheers with Bits, the bit amount appears in chat with a custom animated emote called a Cheermote. The more Bits someone cheers, the more noticeable the animation becomes.
Bits vs Subscriptions - What Pays More?
Bits pay $0.01 per bit, with no revenue share deduction from Twitch. What you see in the calculator is what the streamer receives. Subscriptions work differently. In the US, a Tier 1 sub is usually $5.99 on web, and many streamers earn around 50% by default, although some Partners and Plus Program streamers can earn a higher share.
For a quick comparison, 500 Bits pays the streamer $5.00. A US Tier 1 sub usually costs the viewer $5.99 on web, but the streamer typically receives only a share of that subscription revenue. At higher cheer amounts, Bits can become a meaningful income source, especially during hype trains and milestone celebrations.
How to Set Up Bit Donations on Twitch
If you are a Twitch Affiliate or Partner, Cheering is enabled by default. Viewers can use Bits to Cheer in your chat, and you can adjust your Bits and Cheering settings in the Twitch Creator Dashboard.
If you want to encourage more Bit cheers, a few simple things can help.
Set a Bit goal using Twitch’s built-in goal tool so viewers can see progress toward a target. Use custom Cheermotes, available to Affiliates and Partners, to give viewers a reason to cheer at specific thresholds. It is also worth making sure your stream panels include a clear Support section. A professional panel set makes your channel look more credible and gives viewers more confidence when supporting your stream.
