<p>This command:</p>

<p><code>sendtoaddress &lt;bitcoinaddress&gt; &lt;amount&gt;</code> </p>

<p>will do the trick.</p>

Starting with Bitcoin Core 24.0.0 you can use the [`sendall`](https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/24.0.0/rpc/wallet/sendall/) RPC:

E.g.

```
bitcoin-cli -named sendall recipients='["<bitcoinaddress>"]' fee_rate=<sat/vB>

```

Note that `sendall` will spend all of your UTXOs by default, including UTXOs that cannot pay for their own input weight. If you would like to maximize the funds received to the recipient address by not spending uneconomical UTXOs, use the `send_max` option.

```
bitcoin-cli -named sendall recipients='["<bitcoinaddress>"]' fee_rate=<sat/vB> send_max=true

```

To be strict, OP asked to send **all** coins, which @username_3 didn't answer.

The key thing to do this is the last optional bool argument of the `sendtoaddress` RPC command called `subtractfeefromamount`. The way to use it is:

```
bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase <passphrase> <timeoutInSeconds>
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> `bitcoin-cli getbalance` "" "" true

```

This command:

`sendtoaddress <bitcoinaddress> <amount>`

will do the trick.
