Bitstack's mission is to empower people to participate in a more open financial system. Bitstack has gone from a simple product that invests your spare change in bitcoin to a bitcoin-native neobank that is bringing a better way to buy, sell, send, and receive bitcoin. Bitstack is powered by Bitcoin - the first open, global, and permissionless monetary network that allows users to send and receive money anywhere, instantly, with almost no fees, and with no central issuer that can debase its currency.

Hi YC! We’re @Alexandre Roubaud & @Kabir Sethi, the founders of Bitstack.
Bitstack is the easiest way to save and invest in Bitcoin in Europe. 🇪🇺
Bitstack is the easiest way for people in Europe to get their first crypto wallet. Users can get started by turning their spare change into bitcoin and then use the app to buy, sell, earn and spend new digital currencies like bitcoin.
Simply download the app, securely link your bank account and you’re all set. Bitstack will automatically round up your everyday purchases to the nearest euro and invest the spare change in Bitcoin.
There is no need to determine the right time to buy and no investment knowledge required.
Today, 2 out of 3 people are worried about not achieving their financial goals, whether that’s buying a house, saving for retirement, a vacation, or their children’s future.
Unfortunately, most people continue saving in low-interest savings accounts that are consistently outpaced over the years by rising inflation.
But Bitcoin fixes this. Bitcoin is the first open, global and permissionless monetary network with a fixed supply of 21 million bitcoins, ever, and protected by a distributed network of users all around the world.
So we built Bitstack to finally make it simple, fun and accessible for everyone to save and invest in Bitcoin.
Since the launch of our Beta 3 months ago, we’ve already helped our users save 1.5+ billion satoshis. Did you know? 1 Bitcoin = 100 million satoshis.
