Bringin's Newsletter – April 2025

BITCOIN IS A B2B2C NETWORK FOR FINANCIAL APPS

🏦 Most traditional financial apps (PayPal, Venmo, Revolut) operate as closed systems. They rely on internal databases, offer no interoperability with other services, and prevent users from truly controlling their data and money.

This closed model stifles innovation: each company must build everything in-house, and users are entirely dependent on the platform’s rules. In essence, these are digital silos disguised as convenient services.

🟠 Bitcoin companies, on the other hand, build on open protocols. They focus on self-custody, where users retain control of their funds, and on modular architectures that allow other actors to integrate, extend, or customize the tools. Many projects and startups (like Breez, Alby, or BTCPay Server) don’t just target end users, they also provide technical building blocks for other businesses.

This is where the B2B2C model emerges: a company builds for the consumer, but also for other businesses that will serve other users more efficiently and flexibly.

WE WANT MORE BITCOIN IN TRESAURY

 ♟️Since 2020, several companies have begun adding Bitcoin to their treasuries as a long-term strategic asset. Strategy pioneered this movement, acquiring over 530,000 BTC and positioning its stock as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure. Now, it’s over 13,000 institutions and 55 million individuals that gain indirect exposure to BTC thanks to $MSTR.

In response, new players like Japan’s Metaplanet have followed suit, now holding over 5,000 BTC and expanding to the U.S. to grow their Bitcoin reserves. GameStop, the famous gaming company, has also announced a $1.3 billion fundraise aimed at Bitcoin accumulation. 📈

Bringin has also adopted this approach, allocating 15% of its recent pre-seed round to a Bitcoin treasury. 🗝️ The company plans to continue growing its BTC reserves as it moves toward profitability. 

BRINGIN CLOSED A $950,000 PRE-SEED FUNDING

Bitcoin-native startup Bringin has closed a $950,000 pre-seed funding round to help build a new financial infrastructure centered on self-custody. 🔒

The round was led by Initial Capital, with participation from Fulgur Ventures, Cabrit Capital, and angel investors including Stephan Livera and Max Webster.

Bringin’s mission is to enable people to use Bitcoin like real money without ever giving up control of their funds.

With this funding, the team will launch a premium mobile app for consumers and a streamlined on/off-ramp solution for institutions. This raise marks a key milestone in their mission to rebuild banking from the ground up with Bitcoin at its core. 🧡
