Together, we are building the Bitcoin infrastructure of tomorrow
From German banking infrastructure and self-custody to taxes and education: we collaborate with partners who share our conviction to make Bitcoin in Europe simpler, safer, and more accessible.
European infrastructure for your Bitcoin wealth
A German bank that believed in our vision early on
When we built 21bitcoin, we wanted to connect Bitcoin with reliable European financial infrastructure. For that, we didn't just need a payment service provider, but a banking partner that shares our long-term vision.
We found this partner in Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Bayern Mitte eG.
€2.1 million
In 2023, the German cooperative bank led a funding round of €2.1 million in 21bitcoin and became a strategic shareholder.
Shared vision
What started as a banking partnership evolved into a long-term collaboration.
From investment to shared infrastructure
Today, VR Bank Bayern Mitte is a key part of the euro infrastructure behind 21bitcoin.
As a 21bitcoin customer, you receive a personal virtual IBAN via VR Bank Bayern Mitte. You can use it to easily deposit and withdraw euros and make SEPA instant payments.
Backed by a German bank
"21bitcoin is a simple and beautifully designed app. It makes getting started in the world of Bitcoin easy. Backed by a German bank, it ensures smooth payment processing. Overall, an excellent platform!"
Andreas Streb, CEO
Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Bayern Mitte eG
A partnership that goes further
What began as an investment in 2023 is now growing together.
21bitcoin is evolving from a simple Bitcoin buying service into a comprehensive Bitcoin financial platform. Together with VR Bank Bayern Mitte, we are working on a pilot project for Bitcoin-backed loans.
Our shared goal: to connect Bitcoin with established European financial infrastructure—without compromising the features that make Bitcoin special.
Institutional-grade Bitcoin custody
When you are building a long-term Bitcoin position, security shouldn't end at the app's interface. That is why we partner with BitGo Europe GmbH for our professional Bitcoin custody infrastructure.
BitGo is one of the world's established providers of institutional digital asset infrastructure. The European entity BitGo Europe GmbH is authorized as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under MiCAR and is supervised by the German BaFin.
Regulation at both levels
21bitcoin itself is licensed as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under MiCAR by the Austrian FMA.
For the technical custody of cold wallet keys, we partner with BitGo Europe—which is also MiCAR-regulated and supervised by the German BaFin.
At 21bitcoin, regulatory responsibility doesn't stop with us; it extends to the professional custody infrastructure behind the scenes.
A network for your Bitcoin assets
Bitcoin doesn't end with the purchase.
From your own wallet and secure backup storage to tax documentation, we collaborate with specialized companies and Bitcoin experts.
