TRON to Bitcoin bridge

There is no bridge from TRON to Bitcoin. To get BTC you swap USDT TRC-20 or TRX into native BTC sent to your Bitcoin address. Instant exchanges such as ChangeNOW and SideShift are the simplest, Rango compares several routes, and exchanges are cheapest for large amounts. Keep some TRX for energy, or the USDT transfer will cost more.
