TikTok treasure box and Treasure Chest: what they are and how they work
Updated: 21/10/2026
On TikTok, "treasure box" can mean two things: the treasure box in a LIVE, an official feature that lets a viewer or the creator share coins among the people watching, or a gift called Treasure Chest. The LIVE treasure box has no fixed price: whoever sends it decides how much goes in. For the gift, we cannot give you a confirmed price: BeetGames (21/10/2026) finds it in only 3 regional catalogues, with two different values. If you want the gift, CoinTok's 25,000-coin pack includes it.
Quick summary
- LIVE treasure box: shares coins and keeps people watching the stream (TikTok LIVE Creator Hub).
- Whoever sends it chooses how many viewers can collect coins (LIVE Studio Help Center).
- Treasure Chest gift: listed at 899 and at 1,500 coins depending on the catalogue, and only in Hong Kong, Japan and Russia (BeetGames).
- Pack with the gift included: 25,000 coins for $164 (Black Bear + Treasure Chest).
What is the treasure box in a TikTok LIVE?
According to TikTok's official LIVE guide for creators (Japan, 08/09/2023), the treasure box is a feature that viewers or creators can send during a stream to increase watch time. When someone sends one, coins are handed out at random to viewers who have watched the LIVE for a set amount of time, which is why it helps keep the audience around. It is sent from the gift panel.
The LIVE Studio Help Center (updated 11/02/2025) describes it as a coin giveaway: "You can customize the number of viewers who can collect Coins." It even suggests it as a way to get more followers, with "first-come, first-served" boxes.
How does the treasure box work, step by step?
- Whoever sends it (creator or viewer) picks it in the gift panel and puts in the coins to be shared.
- The box appears in the stream and viewers need to keep watching for the time shown.
- When it opens, the coins are shared at random among the viewers who qualify, up to the number set by the sender.
TikTok's guides do not publish a minimum or maximum number of coins per box or the exact waiting time, and the feature can vary by region and app version. If you do not see it in your panel, it may not be available for your account.

| Who benefits | The viewers who collect it | The creator, who receives it as Diamonds |

How much is the Treasure Chest gift?
There is no single price we can confirm. BeetGames, which tracks gift catalogues, finds it on 21/10/2026 in only 3 country lists (Hong Kong, Japan and Russia) and with two values: 899 and 1,500 coins. StreamToEarn (21/10/2026) also shows two "Treasure Chest" gifts with different images. That is why we do not give you a fixed figure: check the coin number under the gift in your own panel before sending it.
Can you get free coins from treasure boxes?
Yes, the treasure box is one of the few official ways to receive coins without buying them: someone else puts them in and TikTok shares them out. But the amounts are set by whoever sends the box, they are handed out at random and you will not always get some. Be wary of sites or profiles promising "treasure boxes" or free coins in exchange for your password or a download: we explain why in free TikTok coins scams.
What does a treasure box do for the creator?
It keeps people in the room. Because coins only go to those who stay and watch, the box rewards sticking around and livens up the chat while everyone waits. TikTok also suggests it for gaining followers. If you want to know how creators get paid for the gifts they receive, see TikTok diamonds to USD.
