It all started with an idea in 2021. Initially built to democratize Bitcoin in France, Bitstack has gone from a simple product that rounds up your everyday purchases and invests the spare change in bitcoin, to a dynamic app bringing a better way to save, spend, and grow your money.

Bitstack is backed by YC, leading VCs like Stillmark, Serena, Plug and Play, ALM Innovation (AG2R La Mondiale), Founders Future, Goodwater Capital, Kima Ventures, Station F, and angels from companies like Ledger, Alan, Swile and more. We are building a product our users love and we are just getting started!

Our mission is to empower people to better finance their future by participating in a more open and inclusive financial system. We are rebuilding finance from the ground up by creating the first crypto-native bank that leverages Bitcoin and stablecoins to revolutionize consumer banking.
