Based on Bitcoin, built for the long run. Blockrise is a Bitcoin-only platform that offers custody, brokerage, asset management, legacy planning and lending.
MiCAR applies in full across the EU from 1 July 2026. After that date, an EU crypto-asset service provider operating without a MiCAR licence is in breach of EU law.
For Bitcoin holders, MiCAR sets a baseline: segregated client assets, minimum own funds, and supervised providers.

This week Blockrise hosted its first official Bitcoin only evening in Amsterdam, during Dutch Blockchain Week.
No panels and no Altcoins, just a Bitcoin minded crowd and good conversation.
Thank you to everyone who came. This was the first of many.
Day 1 at @DutchBlockWeek was a good one.
CEO @jos_lazet joining a panel discussion powered by @Mastercard, sharing perspectives on Bitcoin, custody and the evolving digital asset landscape.
At 1:00 PM, the conversation continued on the VIP Stage, powered by Deloitte, alongside @bunq, @Visa and Mesh. The panel explored the current state of digital assets, emerging opportunities, and the infrastructure needed to support broader adoption.
Looking forward to day 2.
Blockrise applies Bitcoin ethos to its asset management offering
Blockrise today announced that it will remove the performance fee from its Fundamentals strategy. The new fee schedule takes effect on 1 July 2026 and brings the proposition further in line with the Bitcoin ethos of long-term value retention.
"We want our proposition to reflect what Bitcoin investors value: clarity, alignment, and long-term exposure," said @jos_lazet CEO of Blockrise.
"Removing the performance fee is the logical next step after reducing the custody fee to zero. Both decisions come from the same conviction.”
MiCAR Authorisation: Complete.
Blockrise is fully authorised and operational across the entire European Economic Area under MiCAR.
Built for long-term wealth preservation, Blockrise provides a regulated and permanent home for your Bitcoin in Europe.
In one week, the MiCAR transitional period ends.
3,000 EU providers in 2024. 194 with a MiCAR licence today.
The deadline does not just accelerate adoption. it filters who built for compliance from who did not.

Sunday, @jos_lazet joined a live event for Bitcoin for Boomers, the Dutch podcast by Ludo de Boo and Norbert ter Mors for people who have a savings account but have never heard of Bitcoin.
60 people in the room, who saved carefully for years and are now finding that it does not get them very far anymore.
Exactly the audience where the Bitcoin conversation matters a lot!
Thanks to Norbert and Ludo for the invitation. 🎙️
How do crypto firms actually work with the banking system? A VIP panel takes it on!

Blockrise at @BTCPrague and @BtcCorpDay💚
At stand 41 in Prague, the Blockrise team spent three days talking through what it actually means to hold Bitcoin, take a loan against it, and build custody that keeps clients in control of their own keys. The lesson: the bear market does not slow these conversations down.
The conference season this year, from @MadBitcoin_2026 and @BITCOINIRELAND Conference through to @BtcCorpDay and @BTCPrague, drew strong attendance across the board.
Blockrise is building!
This was day 2 of @BTCPrague!
First and second day of BTC Prague was full of conversations, onboarding visitors and talks about Bitcoin and custody. What a days.
Find Blockrise in the expo hall, stand 41.
Here to talk about Bitcoin.
@jos_lazet kicked off with a panel discussion on the main stage, day 3 of @BTCPrague.
The session, moderated by @lunaticoin, focused on getting more from the bitcoin you already hold. Tax efficiency, fee structures, leveraging your holdings without giving up control. Most people stop at buying. This conversation was about what comes next.
At stand 41, we keep the same thread going: custody, bitcoin-backed lending, what it actually means to hold your own keys, and how Blockrise fits into that picture.
One more full day of talks about bitcoin!
Bitcoin-backed loans are provided by Blockrise Lending B.V. A group company of Blockrise Capital B.V. Bitcoin-backed loans are not regulated under MiCAR.
