About Bitcoin Suisse
Established in 2013, Bitcoin Suisse AG is a Swiss financial intermediary specializing in crypto-assets, positioned as a key player in the development of Switzerland's "Crypto Valley". The company was founded by Niklas Nikolajsen, Andrej Majcen, and Fabian Hediger. Nikolajsen, a computer science graduate with over 15 years of experience as a software architect in the financial sector, was an early adopter of Bitcoin, which led him to establish the firm in Switzerland in 2013. He served as CEO until 2017 and later as Chairman of the Board. Co-founder Andrej Majcen took over as Group CEO in early 2024 to spearhead the next phase of growth.
Read full description
Bitcoin Suisse serves a diverse clientele, including private individuals, institutional investors, and corporate clients, offering a comprehensive suite of crypto-financial services. The company's business model revolves around providing prime brokerage, institutional-grade custody, staking, and collateralized lending services. Revenue is generated through these financial services, with a business model that emphasizes an aggregated marketplace trading across multiple global crypto exchanges to ensure liquidity and uptime for its clients. The firm requires a minimum initial deposit for both private and corporate clients to access its services.
Key services include 24/7 trading with access to deep liquidity via a smart order routing system that minimizes market impact for large trades. The firm's proprietary, audited cold storage solution, the Bitcoin Suisse Vault, offers institutional-grade security for a wide range of crypto assets. Clients can also participate in staking for various proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies to earn rewards, with Bitcoin Suisse managing the operational aspects. Additionally, the company provides collateralized loans in fiat currencies against crypto assets. A significant milestone was achieved in August 2014 when the company facilitated the first-ever fiat-crypto crowdsale for the Ethereum Foundation. The company also introduced the first Bitcoin ATM in Switzerland in 2014 and developed a crypto payment gateway used by the city of Zug, the first public entity in the world to accept Bitcoin for services.
