Timestamp, a pioneering crowdfunding tool, has launched in the United States, with the goal of transforming how Bitcoin entrepreneurs get financing. This new platform connects accredited and non-accredited investors to Bitcoin-focused initiatives, providing a unique method to contribute to the growth of the bitcoin ecosystem.
Unlike typical crowdfunding approaches, Timestamp allows investors to acquire equity holdings in the firms they support, enabling true ownership while following regulatory standards. According to Arman Meguerian, CEO of Timestamp, this technique ensures compliance while also providing investors with a tangible stake in the success of creative Bitcoin ventures.
The platform aims to serve as a cost-effective substitute for venture capital financing. Startups pay only a 7% commission on successful campaigns, with no upfront expenses necessary. This makes Timestamp an enticing alternative for early-stage companies looking for financial backing. Projects can start privately to gauge interest, and then transition to a public campaign after completing the necessary legal requirements.
Though the platform now only accepts fiat currency investments, preparations are underway to include Bitcoin payment alternatives by 2025, assuming regulatory approval. This initiative may strengthen Timestamp’s position as a key player in the Bitcoin ecosystem’s financial environment.
The platform launches during a period of increased innovation in the Bitcoin ecosystem, fueled by breakthroughs such as the Ordinals protocol and the approval of Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds. These advances have piqued the interest of institutional and individual investors alike, opening the path for new firms to emerge.
Timestamp is now sponsoring campaigns for five startups, with ideas ranging from Bitcoin wallets and payment systems to creative initiatives such as a Bitcoin-themed augmented reality game. The platform’s objective is to create the infrastructure required for a sustainable and prosperous Bitcoin economy.
As interest in Bitcoin grows, platforms like Timestamp have the ability to promote considerable innovation and acceptance by connecting investors to ground-breaking cryptocurrency ventures.
