Why Kiwis choose Stacked

Most platforms want you to trade hundreds of coins. We want you to own one — properly.

Bitcoin-only

No altcoins, no speculative tokens, no noise. Just Bitcoin — the only digital asset with a fixed supply of 21 million.

Self-custody from day one

Your keys, your Bitcoin. From your first purchase, your Bitcoin goes into a wallet you control — not ours.

Instant Lightning settlement

Most platforms take 1–3 business days to credit your account. Stacked settles via Lightning within seconds.

Autostack — set and forget

Schedule daily, weekly, or bi-weekly Bitcoin purchases from your NZ bank. Build the habit automatically.

Built for New Zealand

NZ bank transfers, NZ customer support, NZ business registration. Based in Queenstown. FSP1005773.

Transparent 1% fee

One transparent exchange fee. Bank, Lightning, or network costs are shown before you confirm, so the price is clear before you buy.
