Founded in 2019 by a team of Wall Street veterans and blockchain pioneers, BITPAY was created with a singular mission: to bring institutional-grade crypto investment returns to everyday investors worldwide.
BITPAY was born from a simple observation: the most profitable crypto trading strategies were only accessible to hedge funds and institutional investors with millions of dollars in capital. Retail investors were left with volatile, unpredictable markets and limited tools.
Our founders — Alexander Frost and Dr. Priya Sharma — spent two years developing a proprietary algorithmic trading engine capable of executing thousands of micro-trades per day across multiple exchanges. By pooling investor capital and deploying sophisticated strategies including arbitrage, market making, and trend following, they created a system that could generate consistent daily returns.
Today, BITPAY manages over $142 million in invested capital from 38,000+ investors across 120+ countries. Our platform combines cutting-edge technology with rigorous risk management to deliver reliable investment performance.
