As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in both traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets, I find this new crowdfunding platform for Bitcoin startups intriguing. The opportunity to invest in equity stakes in these companies while ensuring regulatory compliance is a welcome development, especially given the potential volatility associated with cryptocurrencies.
A U.S.-based crowdfunding service tailored for Bitcoin-focused businesses has recently debuted, with the goal of connecting cryptocurrency projects to alternative financing opportunities.
On November 25, Timestamp unveiled this new venture, which welcomes participation from both accredited and non-accredited investors alike.
As per the company’s explanation, investors are given shares in the supported businesses, much like conventional equity investments. This setup guarantees both investor ownership rights and complete adherence to regulatory standards, as explained by CEO Arman Meguerian of Timestamp to CryptoMoon.
For new businesses, this platform functions as an alternative funding method instead of traditional venture capital, taking a 7% commission from successful fundraising campaigns without demanding any initial charges. Initially, projects can soft-launch with a campaign page to stimulate early curiosity. Upon finishing the necessary legal documentation, they are then ready for a full-scale public launch.
Equity-based crowdfunding, specifically, falls under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As per publicly available documents, Timestamp has been duly registered with this regulatory body since October 2023.
Speaking about our platform based in the U.S., Meguerian mentioned that we are duly registered with both the SEC and FINRA. This means we work under strict guidelines, yet we offer opportunities for founders to connect with a wide array of Bitcoin enthusiasts worldwide.
Although focused on Bitcoin-based firms, capital can only be invested with fiat currency. The company is said to be working with regulators and banking partners to integrate Bitcoin payments in 2025.
Since the debut of the Ordinals protocol in 2023 and the subsequent approval of Bitcoin-based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in early 2024, there’s been a significant increase in innovation within the Bitcoin community. This boost has attracted more institutional investors, leading to an influx of new startups working on various solutions for the Bitcoin network.
