about us

Make Bitcoin easy for your everyday finance. Quick, safe and without friction.

OUR INVESTORS

AS SEEN ON

VISION

Accelerate the world toward a bitcoin standard by enabling the Dual Money Era: save and pay in bitcoin, transact in euros.

Truth over optics

Less marketing fluff, more meaningful value for our users. We care deeply about being objectively innovative rather than appearing to do so.

Financial sovereignty

Your Bitcoin stays yours. We’re committed to self-custody, so you remain in full control of your funds. We never compromise on that.

Compliance first

Always work within the green zone - within the legal boundaries; we will never compromise on this. We strictly follow EU regulatory standards.

Our story

Bringin was founded by Prashanth Chandrashekar to make Bitcoin practical for everyday life. After years of building Bitcoin and financial products, he saw the same problem repeatedly: Bitcoin works globally, but moving between Bitcoin and traditional money is still fragmented and slow. Bringin started in Tallinn in 2022 to bridge that gap, first helping individuals move seamlessly between Bitcoin and euros while keeping control of their Bitcoin. Since then, more than €15 million has moved through Bringin. Today, we are expanding that same idea to businesses — helping companies hold, accept, pay and operate with Bitcoin while still using the euro financial system when they need it.

We're a small, international team united by a shared belief: Bitcoin should be adopted as the new money. Based across Tallinn and Switzerland, we combine deep expertise in Lightning Network infrastructure, European fintech compliance, and mobile development with the real-world experience of actually living on Bitcoin.
