# Send Bitcoin (BTC)

Send BTC from Leather to a Bitcoin address or a BNS name, and choose the fee.

## Send BTC

1. On the Home screen, click "Send". In a narrow window, click "Transfer" and then "Send".

3. Fill in the form:

   * **Amount:** the BTC to send. "Send max" fills in your whole spendable balance minus the fee.
   * **Recipient:** paste a Bitcoin address, or switch the field to BNS name and enter a name. "Select account" lets you send to one of your own accounts.

4. Click "Continue".
5. Choose a fee. The "Recommended" tab offers Low, Standard and High. The "Custom" tab takes a fee rate in sats/vB. See [Configure Transaction Fees](/transactions/configure-transaction-fees.md).

Leather broadcasts the transaction and shows a summary with the transaction ID. The transaction also appears on the "Activity" tab. See [Understand Pending Transactions](/transactions/pending-transactions.md).

## Before you send

* Your BTC must cover the amount and the fee.
* Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. Paste the address rather than typing it, and check it before you confirm.
* If the transaction spends coins from your Taproot address, Leather warns you first. Those coins can carry inscriptions or runes, which the transaction sends along. See [Why isn't all my Bitcoin balance available or spendable?](/balances/why-isnt-all-my-bitcoin-balance-available-spendable.md).
