The platform announced on Thursday that it is currently rolling out the service for its U.S. customers, and that the bought BTC would be directly deposited to a user's wallet.
Casa said users can buy a maximum of $20,000 worth of bitcoin per month using this service and that platform levies a fee of 0.99% on every purchase.
According to Casa CEO Nick Neuman, the BTC is procured via partner platform Wyre.
He said that because all BTC purchased with Casa is being sent on-chain directly to users' wallets, every purchase also includes a mining fee.
A mining fee is also levied by crypto exchanges, generally at the point when users transfer their digital assets to their own wallet.
