Stable value
USDC is pegged to the US dollar, so a top-up keeps its value between paying and spending. No volatility, no surprise from an overnight market move — useful when you are funding infrastructure, not speculating.

TL;DR
- 01
Pay in USD Coin (USDC) — a dollar-pegged stablecoin with regular attested reserves. What you send is what you spend.
- 02
Accepted on Ethereum (ERC20) and the other chains the panel offers. No KYC — email and password only.
- 03
Four Nordic bastions, from $5.90/mo, deployed in ~90 seconds. No card, no recurring charge.
Why USDC for hosting
A stablecoin you can account for.
Transparent reserves
USDC is issued against fully-reserved dollar holdings with regular public attestations. For teams that want a stablecoin they can document in their own books, it is the cleaner of the two big dollar tokens.
Same privacy floor
Choosing a regulated stablecoin changes nothing about the account: still no identity document, still email-and-password only. The coin is about price stability and accounting, not about who you are.

Verdict
USDC is the stablecoin for accounting. Stable, reserved, documented.
When you want a dollar-pegged top-up your finance team can reconcile — fully reserved, regularly attested — USD Coin is the cleaner stablecoin choice. No volatility, predictable book-keeping.
It is pseudonymous on a public ledger, not private, and centrally issued. If payment privacy matters more than accounting, pay in Monero. The signup never asks your name regardless.
FAQ · USDC VPS
Buying a VPS with USDC, answered.
The questions people ask before paying for a server in USDC on a host that runs no identity check.
Can I buy a VPS with USDC on NordBastion?
Yes. USD Coin (USDC) is a first-class payment coin. Open an account with an email and a password, top up in USDC on the network the panel offers, and deploy a VPS in a Nordic bastion. No KYC, no card.
What is the difference between USDC and USDT here?
Both are dollar-pegged stablecoins accepted for top-ups and both avoid volatility on your bill. USDC is issued against fully-reserved holdings with regular public attestations, which some teams prefer for accounting; USDT often has lower fees on TRON. Pick whichever your wallet already holds.
Does USDC avoid price volatility?
Yes. Balances are held in USD value and USDC is pegged to the dollar, so what you top up is what you can spend — no movement between paying and deploying.
Which network do I send on?
Send on the network shown in the panel for your USDC top-up. Sending on a different network than the address expects can lose funds — always match the network shown.
Is paying with USDC private?
It is pseudonymous: USDC transfers are recorded on a public ledger and it is a centrally-issued token. NordBastion never ties a payment to an identity because it collects none. For payment privacy, use Monero.
Is there a minimum top-up?
Yes — a small minimum in USD value applies across all coins, shown at top-up time. Your balance is drawn down as your servers run.
