Meet the team

We’re building the card
we wanted to use.

We bring a decade of experience in digital assets, payments and financial infrastructure. We’ve seen the friction between holding Bitcoin and funding everyday life. That’s why we’re building BCS: to connect Bitcoin-backed borrowing with familiar card spending, giving people a clearer way to put their assets to work.
