# Get sBTC

Get sBTC in Leather by bridging BTC or by swapping a Stacks token such as STX.

sBTC is a token on Stacks backed 1:1 by BTC. Leather gives you two ways to get it. Both start from "Swap" on the Home screen of the Leather extension.

## Bridge BTC

Bridging sends your BTC to an sBTC deposit address on Bitcoin. The sBTC signers then mint the same amount of sBTC to your Stacks address, minus a signer fee. Use it when you hold BTC. See [Bridge BTC to sBTC](/sbtc/bridge-sbtc.md).

## Swap a Stacks token

A swap trades a Stacks token you hold, such as STX, for sBTC through a swap provider on Stacks. See [Swap Stacks tokens for sBTC](/sbtc/swap-sbtc.md).

## Start from app.leather.io

On [app.leather.io/sbtc](https://app.leather.io/sbtc), under "Step 1: Get sBTC", the "Bridge" and "Swap" buttons open the swap form in the Leather extension with the pair already selected. Without the extension, the buttons read "Install Leather to bridge" and "Install Leather to swap".

Leather does not operate the sBTC bridge or the swap providers.
