The move ties creator monetization directly to X's own payment service, pushing US creators into X Money as the platform expands beyond social networking.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
X announced that in the United States, payments for the Original Content Rewards Program and Subscriptions will now be made through the payment service X Money. The change affects creators who have not yet signed up for X Money, who are being encouraged to do so. Creators outside the US continue to receive payments via Stripe.
X has tied its creator payouts to its own payment service. In the United States, rewards from the Original Content Rewards Program and Subscriptions will now be paid through X Money, the service that launched on July 28, 2026, integrating deposit accounts, peer-to-peer transfers, and Visa debit cards.
The Original Content Rewards Program replaces the Creator Revenue Sharing Program and is described as recognizing creators who produce original, high-quality content. X is encouraging creators who have not yet used X Money to sign up. Since both programs are features for X Premium subscribers and above, creators do not need to subscribe to a new paid plan to receive rewards. Creators outside the United States will continue to be paid through Stripe as before.
