[Bitstack @bitstack]

📣 Aujourd’hui, Bitstack annonce une levée de fonds de 15 millions de dollars menée par 13 books Capital, avec la participation d’AG2R LA MONDIALE, Serena, Plug and Play, Stillmark et Y Combinator.

Cette levée marque une étape clé : Bitstack devient un acteur européen de référence de l’épargne en Bitcoin.

En trois ans, notre application a accompagné plus de 300 000 utilisateurs ayant épargné plus de 300 millions d’euros en Bitcoin.

Forts de notre agrément MiCA, obtenu auprès de l’AMF en juin 2025, nous opérons désormais dans une dizaine de pays européens.

Cette expansion s’accompagne du lancement de nouveaux services pour renforcer l’expérience d’épargne :
🏛️ Un compte euros avec IBAN français
💳 La première carte VISA en Europe offrant du stackback : jusqu’à 1 % en Bitcoin sur toutes les dépenses, sans plafond
⚡ L’arrondi en temps réel et sans frais sur la carte Bitstack

Une phase de bêta test de la carte commence le 13 janvier 2026, accessible aux 5 000 premiers sur la liste d’attente.

Notre ambition est claire : permettre à chacun, partout en Europe, de préserver son pouvoir d’achat sur le long terme.

Un grand merci à tous nos utilisateurs, à nos équipes, et à nos investisseurs pour leur confiance ✨

If you are launching a token, working with a liquidity provider, or part of a crypto community that has little trust in market makers, this is for you.

The State of Crypto Market Making 2025 pulls back the curtain on how the industry really works, the risks that can destroy value, and how to avoid them.
