The platform promises to provide unique opportunities for investors while providing Bitcoin projects with access to new investment areas. With this innovative initiative, announced on November 25, 2024, Timestamp aims to implement more initiatives by taking advantage of the power of Bitcoin.

Timestamp offers investors who will invest in Bitcoin-focused startups a structure similar to traditional stock investments. Investors gain real equity ownership in the projects they support, while also ensuring regulatory compliance.

Timestamp CEO Arman Meguerian said in an interview with Cointelegraph, “This structure offers investors true share ownership while ensuring that investors comply with all regulatory requirements.”

The platform serves as an alternative to traditional venture capital (VC) financing in providing capital for Bitcoin-based projects. While Timestamp receives a 7% commission on successful campaigns, it does not charge any upfront fees.

Projects conduct a “soft launch” at the initial stage, create a campaign page and gather investor interest. After the legal documents are completed, the projects can move on to a full public offering process.

Timestamp is registered with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and operates as a US-based platform. This ensures that the platform operates within the legal framework and increases the security of investors.

Timestamp also states that all processes are legally compliant and in accordance with regulations. Investors can only invest with fiat currency; However, Timestamp is working to integrate Bitcoin payments in 2025.

Arman Meguerian stated that the platform was designed specifically for Bitcoin-based companies, but investors can invest with fiat currencies. While the company aims to implement Bitcoin-focused projects, it also wants to lead financial innovations in the Bitcoin world.

There are currently five Bitcoin-based startups raising capital through the Timestamp platform. These startups are working on projects such as Bitcoin wallets, payment systems, and even a Bitcoin-based version of Pokémon Go.

“Our goal is to create the infrastructure necessary for the growth of a sustainable Bitcoin ecosystem,” Meguerian said. Timestamp aims to foster financial innovation in the Bitcoin world, while also creating a healthy financing environment for startups to thrive.

Crypto startups raised $2.4 billion from venture capital firms in the third quarter of 2024. However, this amount indicates a 20% decrease compared to the previous quarter.

According to Galaxy Research, investment interest in innovative projects in the Bitcoin ecosystem continues unabated, although it has encountered some difficulties. The new platform offered by Timestamp promises to overcome these difficulties and provide a solid source of financing for Bitcoin-based projects.

This innovative model offered by Timestamp offers a great opportunity for Bitcoin-based initiatives to come to life. Investors will be able to contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem by investing in these projects with high potential.

At the same time, startups can grow with new capital flows and reach larger audiences. These developments will further increase the future growth potential of Bitcoin-based startups.
