Democratizing investment in the Bitcoin industry
Timestamp, a regulated investment platform for Bitcoin and open-source companies, officially announces its public launch. By connecting visionary founders with a global network of passionate investors, the platform leverages crowdfunding to make Bitcoin-focused investment opportunities more accessible than ever.
“Today is a monumental day for Bitcoin”
Bitcoin has evolved from a niche internet experiment into a globally recognized financial and cultural phenomenon embraced by individuals, institutions, and nation states. Recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs has sparked increased institutional interest and adoption. Timestamp builds on this momentum, offering a new way to support innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
“Today is a monumental day for Bitcoin,” said Dr. Arman Meguerian, founder and CEO of Timestamp. “We have entered a new era where highly coveted investment opportunities are no longer reserved for an exclusive network of insiders. Timestamp levels the playing field by enabling anyone to invest in the future they believe in. Our mission is to champion bold ideas, foster innovation, and build a vibrant community united by a shared vision of a world on the Bitcoin standard. We are proud to be pioneers on this new frontier.”

Timestamp offers an inclusive platform open to both accredited and non-accredited investors, with no membership fees and low investment minimums. Users can explore curated opportunities, review comprehensive offerings, engage directly with founders, and invest in companies through a secure and streamlined experience.
For founders, Timestamp provides an efficient way to raise capital, with no upfront costs and a success-based fee structure. Founders can leverage a robust suite of fundraising tools — including investor onboarding, campaign creation, document signing, and payment processing — to streamline the entire fundraising process. Crowdfunding regulations offer founders the ability to promote their campaigns widely, increasing brand visibility and building stronger connections with their audience. This approach transforms supporters into engaged investors with skin in the game, all consolidated into a single line on their cap table.
The first cohort of companies raising funds on Timestamp reflects the diversity and innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem:
- CASCDR: a suite of AI services payable in Bitcoin
- Jippi: the world’s first Pokémon GO-inspired Bitcoin education game
- Lightning Bounties: a Github-integrated platform that rewards software developers with Bitcoin for their contributions
- Shopstr: a global, decentralized marketplace built on Nostr
- Sovereign: a wallet built for the Bitcoin standard

In conjunction with its launch, Timestamp announces its flagship sponsorship of Top Builder 2025, hosted by PlebLab, Austin’s premier Bitcoin hackerspace and accelerator. This annual event, held during Bitcoin Takeover at South by Southwest, brings together emerging Bitcoin startups for a high-stakes competition, culminating in a live pitch event.
“Timestamp’s support is invaluable,” said Car Gonzalez, Co-founder and CEO of PlebLab. “PlebLab’s mission is to empower builders to create real-world solutions with Bitcoin at the core. With Timestamp’s sponsorship, we can expand the reach of Top Builder and equip founders with the resources they need to bring their ideas to life. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to fostering the next generation of Bitcoin builders and driving Bitcoin innovation forward.”
