BitDCA’s Littlebit Adds Visa and Mastercard Support for Passive Bitcoin Investing

BitDCA, a Czech fintech company, has announced the integration of Visa and Mastercard support into its upcoming micro-saving app, Littlebit, allowing users to invest in Bitcoin through their everyday spending. The integration aims to make investing in Bitcoin seamless, as users can automatically convert a percentage of their daily purchases into Bitcoin using their existing credit and debit cards.

By implementing this system, BitDCA removes the need for additional accounts or infrastructure. Users won’t have to switch bank cards, pre-load funds, or manually transfer money to invest in Bitcoin. The app will use a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, which involves making regular, small investments over time to minimize the impact of market volatility.

Littlebit is designed for simplicity. For experienced users, it offers the option to store Bitcoin directly on the Bitstamp crypto exchange, while newcomers can store their Bitcoin in an app-assigned digital wallet. The app’s goal is to make Bitcoin savings accessible without the need for technical know-how, gradually building long-term exposure to the cryptocurrency through everyday spending.

BitDCA also plans to launch its native BDCA token, built on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), across both centralized and decentralized exchanges. BDCA token holders will benefit from staking rewards on every transaction made through the Littlebit app, creating an additional passive income opportunity alongside Bitcoin savings.

The Littlebit app is expected to launch exclusively in the EU in the coming months, with a broader expansion potentially following. BitDCA’s latest integration and upcoming token launch are supported by a successful pre-seed funding round in December 2024, where the company raised $2 million to develop the app further.

This move by BitDCA could potentially attract new investors into the Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly those who may have hesitated due to perceived risk or the technical complexities of investing in cryptocurrencies. By making it easier for users to accumulate Bitcoin passively, the company aims to change the perception of Bitcoin from a “risky asset” to a long-term secure investment option.
