  • Launched an instant bank transfer feature (Open Banking technology)

  • Released a Bitcoin Online Wallet with zero network fees when clients buy

Funds from the Crowdcube round will be used to continue the growth and development of the BitcoinPoint platform/products. The company is now offering 4.99% in equity (£3.14 share price) with a £3.5 million pre-money valuation through the funding round, which is set to close mid-June.
