Strike reseña
Bitcoin + Lightning payments app with USD bank account integration
Strike is a Bitcoin/Lightning-first payments app with USD deposits, sub-second BTC payments via Lightning, and BTC auto-buy/DCA. Available in 100+ countries; US offering is the most-built-out, with FinCEN MSB + state money-transmitter licenses. Powered El Salvador's Chivo wallet (2021 launch) — that integration ended in 2024 but reflects Strike's Lightning-rail prominence. Bitcoin-only crypto exposure; no altcoins. Compliant US/international fintech posture; no major regulatory incidents.
- Lightning-native UX is the gold standard for fast BTC payments
- BTC purchase fees among the lowest of major US-available platforms
- Strong DCA + auto-buy product
- Founder's Bitcoin-maximalist focus produces opinionated, focused product
- Bitcoin-only — no ETH, no altcoins, no stablecoins as user-facing product
- No FDIC deposit insurance on the USD balance (depends on partner-bank pass-through)
- Customer support response can be slow during volume spikes
- El Salvador Chivo integration ended in 2024 — reflects the Salvadoran-government decision, not a Strike-side failure, but worth noting
Ocho ejes, ponderados.
