Closing Joltz & Orange Pill App

Greetings, and we’re excited to bring you a recap of what we’ve learned on our journey with Thunder Funder! FYI. Our first two investment opportunities (Orange Pill App and Joltz) have exceeded their minimum funding goals. Their current investment windows are scheduled to close this month's end. We wanted to let everyone know the status of these offerings and give you some insight into our journey as a Bitcoin and Open Source focused equity crowdfunding portal. Speaking of connections, you can link your Orange Pill App profile to your Thunder Funder account and migrate your connections and conversations.

Community is everything, and we’re ready to take our Thunder Funder game to the next level. Soon, there will be open sessions to ask questions about investing or being a founder, raising capital, and all that good stuff. We’re excited to facilitate educational conversations and help connect people within our network.

Investment activity has been slow and steady since we started! But we’re just getting started. We have Bitcoin/Lightning funding methods on the roadmap; we’re working on a mobile app and a slew of Thunder Funder platform updates. We have a robust pipeline of companies onboarding to Thunder Funder to leverage their captive communities. Our mission is to democratize this space to both founders and retail investors.

Joltz is creating infrastructure to expand Bitcoin’s utility, focusing on Lightning payments, Taproot Asset issuance, and developer tools that make Bitcoin more accessible for businesses. Their wallet SDK and API suite allow companies to integrate Bitcoin and Lightning Network payments, reducing development time and costs.

The company is working on stablecoin issuance tools via Taproot Assets, aiming to provide new financial infrastructure for businesses seeking Bitcoin-native alternatives to traditional finance. See this Bitcoin Magazine article about Tether and Lightning.

Joltz released some big news in El Salvador for the PlanB Forum where it was announced that Tether (the world’s largest stablecoin) would be coming back to Bitcoin and be issued for use on the Lightning Network. Since the announcement, they’ve had much press coverage, articles, and interviews. Check out some recent news, updates, announcements, and major partnerships. They’ve had over 42 businesses submit requests for access to their SDK and are close to shipping self-custodial swaps, which is a first for Taproot Assets.

Their technology enables wallets, payment platforms, and other businesses to seamlessly integrate on-chain, Lightning, and Taproot Asset payments. This approach creates a broader infrastructure for Bitcoin adoption across multiple industries.

The company has already generated its highest revenue quarter in Q4 and is in discussions with partners representing millions of potential end users.

Joltz has also been recognized for its work in the Bitcoin developer ecosystem, having won at Bitcoin 2024 Pitch Day.

Orange Pill App: The de facto social media platform for bitcoiners, by bitcoiners! 

Built as a high-signal alternative to mainstream social networks, OPA is designed for Bitcoiners to meet, transact, and support Bitcoin-friendly businesses. The platform has grown to over 20,000 users and 7,599 members, earning $206,000 in revenue. Moving forward, OPA is building ticketing solutions to support Bitcoin-based event transactions, with discussions underway with major Bitcoin conferences and local meetups.

Some major updates were launched last month (and more are in the pipeline - see their roadmap below). 2024 has been an excellent year for Orange Pill App. They grew by 2.3x and built a Bitcoin Treasury of 3.6 BTC.

The company also plans to expand its merchant offerings, allowing businesses to tap into a highly targeted audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts looking for products and services that align with their interests.

Most recently, they launched “Mass Zapping,” which allows users to effortlessly zap everyone in your group chats — all at once!

We joined Simply Bitcoin for a sit down with Orange Pill App CEO Matteo Pellegrini. Be sure to check out the full video here.
