BitDCA’s Littlebit App to Allow EU Users to Invest in Bitcoin via Everyday Spending

Czech fintech firm BitDCA has integrated Visa and Mastercard support into its upcoming microsaving app, Littlebit. This integration will enable users to automatically invest in Bitcoin through their everyday spending, using existing credit and debit cards.

According to Jan Záruba, CEO and co-founder of BitDCA, the integration aims to eliminate the need for additional infrastructure or new accounts, allowing users to invest in Bitcoin without disrupting their usual spending habits. With Littlebit, users can automatically set aside a portion of each transaction made with their Visa or Mastercard, gradually building long-term exposure to cryptocurrency without any extra effort.

Key Features of Littlebit App

The app employs a Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy, which involves making regular, small investments over time to reduce the impact of market volatility. BitDCA will offer two options for managing Bitcoin savings:

  • Experienced users can store their Bitcoin directly on the crypto exchange Bitstamp.
  • New users can keep their savings in an app-assigned digital wallet.

Jan Záruba emphasized that many people perceive Bitcoin as “a risky asset class” rather than a “long-term secure investment.” He added,

“With BitDCA and Littlebit, we aim to change that — proving just how beneficial it can be to naturally accumulate Bitcoin savings, especially when users see the return on investment.”

Additional Opportunities for Passive Income

BitDCA will also launch its native BDCA token, built on the Binance Smart Chain, across both centralized and decentralized exchanges in the coming weeks. According to BitDCA CTO Ondřej Kavka, every transaction made through the Littlebit app will generate revenue for BDCA holders through staking rewards, providing an “additional opportunity for passive income” alongside their Bitcoin savings.

Background and Funding

Founded in 2019, BitDCA’s latest integration follows a pre-seed funding round in December last year, when it raised $2 million to support the development of Littlebit. The app is set to launch exclusively in the EU in the coming months.
