Bitpanda GmbH is an Austrian company headquartered in Vienna. Bitpanda's mobile app provides access to its trading platform, which provides a cryptocurrency exchange, commodities and securities trading, and ETFs. In 2021, Bitpanda achieved a valuation of over four billion US dollars[1] and had nearly 2.7 million customers and almost 500 employees.[2]

On June 24, 2022, the company announced layoffs of 35% of its workforce[3] despite stating internally that they would not do so weeks earlier.[4]

History

The company was founded in 2014 by Eric Demuth, Paul Klanschek, and Christian Trummer.[5] The company was first called Coinimal and changed its name to Bitpanda in 2016. In 2018, an office was opened in London. Initially, Bitpanda was a platform on which only cryptocurrencies were traded. In 2019, it also launched trading in precious metals and in April 2021, it launched trading in securities.[6]

In September 2020, the company raised $52 million in an initial funding round. Investors included Peter Thiel's investment firm.[7] In early 2021, the company partnered with Visa to introduce a debit card that people could use to pay for goods and services in cryptocurrency or commodities in stores.[8]

In another round of funding in August 2021, the company raised $260 million, increasing its valuation to more than $4 billion.[9] In 2021, the company announced it would open an office in Berlin.[2]

Products

Bitpanda's offerings include trading in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, commodities such as silver and gold, and various securities and funds. Cryptocurrencies can be stored in a digital wallet on Bitpanda's platform and can also be sent to other users. In addition, the company also offers its own debit card in cooperation with Visa.[10]
