Bitbuy™ | Login®: Official 2026 Canadian Gateway

In 2026, Bitbuy™ remains Canada’s most regulated cryptocurrency exchange, now operating under the Coinsquare Capital Markets Ltd. (CCML) umbrella. As a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), Bitbuy provides a banking-level security environment for trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 40 other digital assets.

Whether you are logging in to download your 2025/2026 T5008 tax slips or to execute a high-speed trade on Bitbuy Pro, using the official secure portal is essential.

🛡️ 2026 Security Protocols

Bitbuy has implemented several "Safety-First" updates for the 2026 season:

  • CIRO Regulated: Your cash holdings are covered up to $1 million CAD per account by the Canadian Investment Protection Fund (CIPF).
  • Cold Storage Mastery: Over 98% of customer digital assets are held in offline, air-gapped cold storage with licensed custodians like BitGo and Coinbase.
  • Mandatory 2FA: Bitbuy now strongly recommends Authy or Google Authenticator over SMS-based 2FA to prevent SIM-swapping attacks.
  • Device Approval: When logging in from a new browser or phone, you must approve the device via an encrypted email link before access is granted.

📊 Tax Season 2026: T5008 & Transaction Reports

Since Bitbuy is a CIRO-regulated marketplace, it simplifies Canadian tax compliance more than international exchanges.

  • T5008 Slips: For the 2025/2026 tax year, Bitbuy generates T5008 (Statement of Securities Transactions) forms automatically. You can find these in your Profile > Documents section.
  • Cost Basis Revisions: Remember that Box 20 (Cost or Book Value) on the T5008 may not always reflect your Adjusted Cost Base (ACB) if you transferred assets from another wallet.
  • Legacy Documents: If you need data from prior to the May 2024 platform migration, ensure you check the "Legacy Documents" tab in your account settings.

🛠️ Troubleshooting Login Issues

  • Account Hold: If you recently updated your ID or changed your email, a temporary hold may be placed on your account for 24–48 hours for security.
  • CAPTCHA Loops: If you are stuck in a login loop, try clearing your browser cache or switching to the Bitbuy Mobile App, which utilizes biometric login (FaceID/Fingerprint) to bypass CAPTCHAs.
  • 24/7 Support: Bitbuy offers "Real Human Support." If you are locked out, contact the team at support@bitbuy.ca.
