Get up to $100 in BTC with our Black Friday Deposit & Trade Bonus

TL;DR

Our Black Friday Deposit & Trade Bonus runs from November 12 to December 1, 2026, with rewards of up to $100 in BTC per client.
Enroll first in the Rewards Hub in the Kraken app, then deposit $1,000 in fiat and trade to unlock four stacked milestones: $10, then an extra $15, $25 and $50.
Only external fiat deposits and Instant Buy trades made after you enroll count toward your milestones.
Rewards are paid in Bitcoin (BTC) and held on Kraken until January 1. You can still trade or stake your BTC in the meantime.

This Black Friday, your deposit earns more. With our new Black Friday Deposit & Trade Bonus, you can deposit $1,000 in fiat, trade the way you normally would and get up to $100 in BTC. Rewards stack across four milestones, so the more you trade, the more you can unlock.
