We Raised $12 Million To Orange-Pill Europe

Let’s make buying Bitcoin ridiculously simple—real BTC, no nonsense, straight to your own wallet. Today, we’re beyond stoked to announce that ego death capital and other amazing partners are backing us with $12M to accelerate Bitcoin adoption across Europe.

Read on to learn who our new funding partners are and what we have planned further to position Relai as the number one Bitcoin platform and bring Bitcoin to everyone’s portfolio.

Building On Our Strengths To Conquer Europe

While other fintech companies struggle to raise cash, we’re doubling down on our mission. Why? Bitcoin doesn’t care—it just keeps growing, and so do we at Relai.

The funding will be used to continue doing what we do best: building an unbeatable product, delivering the smoothest Bitcoin buying experience possible, and helping newcomers understand why Bitcoin is the best savings technology ever created. We’re already one of the fastest-growing startups (the second fastest-growing cryptocurrency startup), so we see that we’re on the right track.

True to the Bitcoin ethos, we will also double down on letting our users take control of their future. This means combining an easy-to-use self-custodial wallet with a seamless Bitcoin-buying experience.

What’s Next? MiCA License and European Domination

We’re not just dreaming big—we’re executing. Our next major move is that we’re working on securing the MiCA license as soon as possible. This will make us one of Europe’s first fully compliant Bitcoin-only platforms, opening the door to 400 million potential users across the EU.

Our growth is already insane (300% year-on-year in user adoption), and we’re on track to hit 1 million downloads in 2025. But this is just the beginning.

Who’s Backing Our Vision?

In a market where many investors sit on the sidelines, we’ve attracted some of the most respected names in the Bitcoin space. These aren’t just any investors—they’re partners who truly understand Bitcoin’s potential to transform finance and share our vision of making it accessible to everyone.

  • ego death capital is leading the charge with $4M
  • Plan B Bitcoin Fund, Timechain, and Solit Group are joining the party
  • The round was heavily oversubscribed (yeah, we’re pretty excited about that!)

What Our New Partners Are Saying

Jeff Booth, Founding Partner at ego death capital, gets it: “Julian and Adem have built an incredible team and platform by focusing relentlessly on long-term value to users – helping them to both understand Bitcoin and to buy it safely and securely. They are already a European leader and are well positioned to become a household name.”
