Edmonton, Alberta May 27, 2025 TheNewswire - Bitcoin Well Inc. (" Bitcoin Well " or the " Company ") ( TSXV: BTCW; OTCQB: BCNWF ), the non-custodial bitcoin business on a mission to enable independence announces a first-of-its-kind Nostr integration to allow Bitcoin Well customers in the USA to purchase bitcoin directly from their Nostr profile.
Key points:
How it Works:
-
Bitcoin Well customers link their Nostr identifier (npub) to their Bitcoin Well account, then DM the Bitcoin Well account with specific commands to purchase bitcoin.
-
The purchase uses the customers Cash Balance, and bitcoin is sent to an existing Lightning Wallet for security.
Why it Matters:
-
The integration makes Bitcoin Well the easiest place to buy bitcoin, enabling fast, secure purchases directly from a customer's Nostr profile.
-
It aligns with the company's mission to simplify self-custody bitcoin purchases.
Nostr's Role:
-
As a censorship-resistant protocol, Nostr ensures Bitcoin Well and its customers have full control, avoiding restrictions and potential censorship.
Impact:
-
This enhances customer convenience, meets Bitcoiners on a platform they already use, and reinforces Bitcoin Well's commitment to accessible, non-custodial bitcoin services.
This move continues to position Bitcoin Well as a leader in freedom technologies by making bitcoin in self custody the standard. For detailed information keep reading, or visit https://bitcoinwell.com/blog/buy-bitcoin-with-nostr
Why does this matter?
Social media, specifically Nostr, is one of the most impactful technologies of our generation. Our lives, our communities and our personalities have transitioned to the digital realm. Bitcoin Well has now enabled everyone in the USA to buy bitcoin safely, directly from their Nostr account.
In doing this, Bitcoin Well has become the easiest place to buy bitcoin! With a simple message, our customers in the USA can now purchase bitcoin in a matter of seconds; without logging in to their Bitcoin Well account.
"This is a great achievement for our team!" said Adam O'Brien, founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well. "We are deeply committed to make buying bitcoin directly to self custody better than using a custodial exchange. This is a huge step in the right direction. We are meeting bitcoiners where they are and allowing them to buy bitcoin safely."
How does it work?
Once a customer links their npub (the social network identifier used by the Nostr protocol) to their Bitcoin Well account from their profile page , they can DM the Bitcoin Well Nostr profile with the command words to purchase bitcoin. The command words are:
-
/buy $21.00 (or any dollar amount)
-
/stack 69,000 sats (or any amount of sats)
After a simple "/confirm" response, the customer's Cash Balance in their Bitcoin Well account will be used to buy bitcoin, and the bitcoin will be sent to their predetermined payment address over the Lightning Network.
To maintain security, bitcoin can only be sent to a Lightning Wallet which has already been added to their Bitcoin Well account.
What is Nostr?
Nostr is a decentralized social media protocol which is censorship resistant and runs on a network of relays, rather than centralized servers. This means that the users of the platform control the posts (known as "notes") rather than the owner of the social media platform. This is particularly impactful for the Company because it means we have full control over our message servers; which hasn't been the case in the past.
Historically, our messaging platforms have prohibited us from creating a "text to buy" type of service. Even our payment providers have been limited in the past. With the addition of the Nostr protocol we can be certain that this level of censorship will not impact us, or our customer's ability to buy bitcoin. Furthermore, there is an added layer of protection for the customer's privacy.
