Paying for AWS and cloud hosting with a crypto card
Stablecoin-only collateral: approved USDC and USDT on Ethereum. The credit limit is 100% of that collateral value, with no haircut. No BTC, ETH, SOL or other coins are accepted.

Cloud providers bill after the fact for what you used, so the monthly charge varies with consumption rather than being a fixed subscription. A virtual card pays it when it stays valid and the confirmed amount comfortably covers a variable bill; a decline can suspend services.
Usage-based, variable billing
AWS and similar providers total your usage and charge the card at the end of the billing period, so next month’s figure is not known in advance. Keep a buffer in confirmed USDC or USDT above your expected bill, since a spike in usage raises the charge.
Verification and suspensions
Adding a card can trigger a small verification authorisation that is later released. If a charge is declined, a provider can suspend or throttle running services, so available balance matters more here than for a fixed subscription.
Using the IndevBank card
The virtual card is used for the online services you already run, cloud accounts among them where card payment is accepted. You pay the same dollar amount as your confirmed deposit. Acceptance, account verification and the provider’s rules apply.
Cashback and fees
Card fees are $0. Eligible settled charges earn 1.5% cashback, capped at $50 per transaction and $250 per month, so a large cloud bill is capped like any other spend. A service credit can reverse cashback already credited.
