Our portfolio company, @heySati, just launched a partnership with @Spark, a @Bitcoin L2 company backed by @Lightspark (the team powering Bitcoin payments for @Coinbase, @NuBank, and @Bitso).
The first product: @BitBit_bot, an X bot that lets you tip people in Bitcoin directly in their feed.
No wallet needed to receive. No technical friction.
The results in 4 weeks:
- 15,000 monthly active users
- 150,000 transactions
- Coverage in @YahooFinance, @TheStreet, @Benzinga, and @BitcoinMagazine
Over 500 million people use X. Most Bitcoin conversations happen there, but nobody was making it easy to actually use Bitcoin on the platform.
Sati changed that.
This is the first self-custodial tipping solution available to the public on X.
And they’re just getting started.
Proud moment: BitBit was highlighted as a featured Spark partner 🙌 As the first Spark-only wallet, we’re showing what real usage on Bitcoin L2 looks like.
Sending Bitcoin on X just got way easier ⚡ @bitbit_bot + @spark now lets you tip anyone by username, no wallet needed upfront. Forgot to claim it in 21 days? Funds bounce back. #Bitcoin
