Bridge has received OCC conditional approval to organize a federally chartered national trust bank. This will enable us to operate stablecoin products and services under direct federal oversight, including:
- Custody
- Orchestration
- Issuance
- Reserves management
Stablecoins are becoming core financial infrastructure. Institutions need regulatory clarity, operational resilience, and scalable systems to build with confidence. A national trust bank establishes that foundation.
Instead of a Series Seed pitch deck, we showed this video to @foundersfund@BainCapVC and @LongJourneyVC and they invested $4.5 million in us a few weeks later. This was the first data center that @ChaseLochmiller and I ever built way back in 2018 when we founded @CrusoeAI with a crazy dream to mine bitcoin with wasted gas across the oilfields of America. We’ve come a long way, but the roots of energy-first, vertically-integrated digital infrastructure started here in NE Wyoming with a <0.5MW deployment and geosynchronous satellite internet.
Cash App is built for living on bitcoin.
We’re making foundational changes that help make bitcoin everyday money.
Starting today you will see:
Zero to low fee bitcoin buys on Cash App
- No fees on large bitcoin buys
- No fees bitcoin on recurring buys
- No fee bitcoin spending via Lightning Network
Higher withdrawal limits (if you qualify)
Plus, every bitcoin you buy on Cash App is held 1:1. So if you buy it, Cash App holds it, and you have 24/7 access to withdraw it anytime.

Safeguarding $100T+ in assets, @The_DTCC sits at the center of U.S. capital markets.
Its partnership with Canton to tokenize U.S. Treasuries brings regulated collateral onchain, enabling 24/7 settlement, atomic transactions, and a new foundation for programmable markets.
On Quadrillions, @Wesarn_real explains why privacy on Canton isn’t an experiment or a bolt-on.
It’s production-ready, composable, and built to support real issuers and customers.
• Issuers see everything they’re responsible for
• Customers get an experience that feels like a Web2 bank account
• Everyone else sees nothing
pre-seed investing is simple:
do you believe this founder will figure it out?
if yes = write the check. if no = pass.
all the traction analysis at this stage is just insecurity dressed up as diligence.
