Paris, June 30, 2025 — Bitstack, the leading Bitcoin savings application in France with more than 200,000 users, becomes one of the very first French players to obtain approval as a Crypto-Active Service Provider (PSCA) in application of the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation issued by the Autorité des Marches Financiers (AMF). This strategic regulatory milestone positions Bitstack among the pioneers of crypto compliance in Europe, paving the way for its expansion within a harmonized, secure, and pan-European framework.


Applicable since December 30, 2024, the MiCA regulation harmonizes the rules relating to cryptoassets in the European Union. It imposes high standards in terms of governance, transparency, security, control and the fight against money laundering.

By becoming one of the very first authorized players, Bitstack demonstrates its ability to meet the most stringent requirements of European regulation. For its users, this ensures an increased level of protection, transparency, and reliability. Thanks to the European passport, Bitstack will be able to operate in all Member States without additional procedures.

“The MiCA certification validates our rigorous approach, which focuses on security, transparency and simplicity. It is a passport to Europe that will allow us to accelerate our mission: to democratize savings in Bitcoin by making them accessible to millions of Europeans”, says Alexandre Roubaud, co-founder and CEO of Bitstack.

Bitstack: Bitcoin savings made simple, automatic and secure

Since its launch in 2022, Bitstack has simplified Bitcoin savings through intuitive features:

  • Automatic rounding up to the highest euro of expenses (e.g.: a €2.60 coffee is rounded to €3 and the €0.40 difference is invested in Bitcoin)
  • Scheduled recurring purchases (e.g. €25 worth of Bitcoin per week)
  • Instant buy and sell starting at €1
  • Sending and receiving Bitcoin, simply via the app

The application is based on the Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, a long-term investment strategy consisting of making regular purchases to smooth the risk associated with price fluctuations, while being exposed to the performance of Bitcoin over the long term.

With more than 200,000 users and 200 million euros saved in Bitcoin, Bitstack has become the reference application in France for saving Bitcoin.

Leader in France, Bitstack is now targeting Europe

Obtaining MiCA approval is part of a clear ambition: to extend the Bitstack offer on a European scale and to build a modern alternative to traditional financial services.

“We are building the best Bitcoin savings solution in Europe, with a strong focus on ease of use and regulation. This approval is both a recognition of our seriousness and a lever to serve our mission on a large scale”, adds Alexandre Roubaud.

A strong ambition: to build the bank of tomorrow

Bitstack doesn't stop there. After raising 5 million euros announced in December 2024, the company is preparing to launch new services:

  • Bank account with IBAN
  • Visa debit card with Bitcoin benefits

These innovations will enrich the user experience while consolidating Bitstack as a complete, regulated and future-oriented solution for finance.
