I have my private key, but when I put it into bitaddress.org, it gives me a legacy address (starting with "1") and not the Bech32 address (starting with "bc1") that I was expecting. My client has only Bech32 receiving addresses and I understandably don't want to lose my coin. How can I get the correct Bech32 receiving BTC address from the BTC private key that I already have?
You can import a private key into the Bitcoin Core wallet using the importprivkey RPC. You can then send the funds associated with that private key to a new address controlled by whatever wallet client you are using.
