About Us

Our Purpose

At Bitt, we have seen first-hand how digital currencies revolutionize economic systems at every level.

Although digital currencies are already here — and here to stay — few basic financial and banking models have adapted accordingly. The truth is that central banks, government entities and licensed financial institutions may not know how to effectively adapt and evolve with this change.

In response to this rapidly growing need, we have developed an industry-leading suite of comprehensive financial technology solutions. Our team of digital currency experts customizes our approach specifically to your needs and objectives, creating a truly bespoke set of real-world solutions.

Our goal is to ensure that every stakeholder in your financial ecosystem derives the maximum possible benefit from digital currency implementation. By providing accessible, low-cost digital currency solutions, we can help our clients lower infrastructure cost, increase revenue, improve financial inclusion and elevate the user experience of financial transactions.

We have partnered with central banks, governments and fintech sector participants around the world, assisting with every aspect of the digital currency and stablecoin operationalization process. From policy development to minting CBDC and stablecoins and beyond, our Digital Currency Management System network provides every tool necessary for administration, tracking and reporting.

Some of the invaluable services we offer, include:

  • CBDC and Stablecoin Workshops
  • CBDC and Stablecoin Sandbox Environments
  • CBDC and Stablecoin Pilot Programs
  • CBCD and Stablecoin Deployment

Whatever your needs might be with regard to designing, minting, issuing or handling digital currencies, Bitt has the capacity to assist you in a successful transformation.

What we believe

The adoption of fiat digital currencies has the potential to empower every stakeholder in the economic ecosystem.

In today’s technology-driven global economy, central bank digital currencies have earned a well-deserved — and long overdue – role in the quest for economic growth and financial equality. Although we may be years or decades from a truly cashless society, consumers demand and deserve viable alternatives to traditional currency instruments.

We believe that central bank digital currencies help to forge open, safe and competitive economic systems. These systems have the potential to empower innovation, break down socioeconomic division, and forge truly equitable access to financial systems.

We also believe that, with the right digital currency infrastructure and technology solutions, central banks, governments and financial institutions can derive significant benefits from CBDC implementation. Those benefits include increased efficiency, revenue growth and the ability to provide an improved experience for customers and stakeholders.

To these ends, we have developed digital currency solutions that transform our aspirational concepts into reality. By introducing and implementing our financial technology solutions, we help our clients catalyze the imperative transformation from traditional currencies and legacy systems to fully operationalized CBDC and stablecoin platforms.

We know from experience that knowledge is power, particularly when it concerns matters of global economic import. Our extensive network of resources includes thought-leaders, subject matter experts and market-leading organizations. We bring the full extent of our resources to bear for our clients, assisting them in every aspect of the operationalization process. From conception and policy development through ongoing regulation and management, we deliver the real-world solutions that ensure your success in digital currency adoption.
