What is Bitstack?
Founded in 2021 and notably backed by Y Combinator, Bitstack has rapidly evolved from its initial mission to democratize Bitcoin savings in France into a comprehensive platform for managing digital assets. The company enables users to buy, sell, earn, send, and spend Bitcoin, with its unique 'spare change' feature automatically investing the difference from everyday purchases into Bitcoin. This passive accumulation strategy, alongside options for recurring automated investments and a linked Bitstack Card, simplifies Bitcoin engagement for a broader audience. Bitstack operates under regulatory compliance, holding a Crypto-Assets Service Provider license from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and functioning as an agent of Xpollens, an authorized electronic money institution. Its services are available across 20 European countries, with assets secured via cold storage and a multi-signature key scheme.
