BITC

What BITC does

TiBc sàrl (operating as BITC) is a Swiss-based cryptocurrency services company headquartered in Bienne, Canton of Bern. The company operates a multi-channel platform built around five core products: a Bitcoin ATM (BATM) network distributed across Switzerland, a proprietary point-of-sale (POS) software licensed to merchant partners, an online broker exchange platform (broker.tibc.ch), an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk for large-volume transactions, and a tiered KYC identity verification platform (kyc.tibc.ch) that gates access across all services. The platform supports buying and selling of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Monero against cash, with ATM hardware sourced from General Bytes and cash logistics handled by Cash Global Solution.

BITC monetizes through transaction fees on ATM and OTC trades plus POS software licensing. A tiered KYC structure scales monthly limits from CHF 1,000 for anonymous users to CHF 15,000 for verified registered users, with unlimited capacity available through the OTC desk for high-volume traders presenting proof of funds. Registered users receive a 40% discount on ATM fees, creating a pricing incentive to convert anonymous traffic into verified accounts. The company reports a base of over 100,000 users across Switzerland, segmented into individual retail crypto users (primary), SMB merchants running POS terminals, and high-net-worth or institutional OTC traders. Customer support is delivered in five languages (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese).

The company positions itself within Switzerland's regulated financial intermediary ecosystem: it operates as a FINMA-supervised financial intermediary, is a member of ARIF (a FINMA-approved self-regulating body for AML supervision), and is audited by BDO. Strategic affiliations include Bitcoin Association Switzerland and Crypto Valley Association. BITC is privately held, employs 1–10 people, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and operates exclusively within Switzerland's domestic market.

Direct peers

• Athena Bitcoin: Global Bitcoin ATM operator with presence in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Comparable to BITC as a multi-country BATM operator offering fiat-to-crypto exchange services through physical terminals.
• RockItCoin: US-based Bitcoin ATM operator with a national footprint of BATM kiosks. Comparable business model focused on cash-to-crypto transactions through retail-located ATMs.
• DigitalMint: Bitcoin ATM operator and OTC desk serving the US and Canada with a focus on compliance. Comparable as a regulated BATM and OTC operator in the fiat-to-crypto exchange category.
• Bitcoin of America: US-based Bitcoin ATM and crypto services operator offering ATM, online exchange, and OTC services. Closely mirrors BITC's product set (ATM + OTC + online), though operating in a different regulatory environment.
• Bity: Swiss-based crypto broker and ATM operator offering cash-to-crypto and online exchange services under FINMA oversight. Direct competitor to BITC's ATM, OTC, and online broker offerings in the Swiss market.
• Mt Pelerin: Swiss FINMA-regulated crypto broker offering fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramps and tokenized securities. Comparable as a Swiss-regulated retail crypto gateway, though it focuses on online/banking rails rather than physical ATMs.

Broad incumbents

• CoinFlip: Largest Bitcoin ATM operator in North America with thousands of BATM locations. Comparable business model (crypto ATM network with fees) at significantly greater scale, useful for benchmarking unit economics and growth trajectory of the BATM category.
• Bitcoin Suisse: Leading Swiss-regulated crypto financial intermediary offering brokerage, custody, staking, and OTC services. Comparable to BITC as a Swiss FINMA-supervised crypto services provider, but operates at much larger scale with institutional focus.

Others

• General Bytes: Leading Bitcoin ATM hardware manufacturer and a current BITC technology partner. Relevant as the underlying infrastructure provider for the BATM industry and as BITC's primary hardware supplier, with BATMs also deployed to direct competitors.

Emerging players

• Relai: Swiss-headquartered Bitcoin-only mobile app offering simple buy/sell flows. Comparable target segment (Swiss retail crypto buyers) but uses digital rails rather than cash ATMs, representing an alternative on-ramp BITC competes with.
