Discover Bitcoin
At Amber, we believe discovering Bitcoin is the start of a lifelong journey. We founded Amber to make that journey as easy and exciting as possible!
Our why
Amber was conceived in late 2017. After spending a number of years trying to convince people to just “buy some bitcoin”, our founders noticed that they always received the same responses: “I just don’t know where to buy it”, “I’m not sure how much to buy or how much to pay”, “It’s just too hard”. Amber was born in an attempt to solve these problems.
Humble beginnings
Our first app iteration would convert your spare change into Bitcoin, but early on we found that required deep access to people’s bank accounts, which went against our value for financial privacy. In 2019, we reinvented Amber, and led the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) movement, with the aim to help people “stack sats” on autopilot.
Since then, Amber has grown to help thousands of users from all walks of life acquire Bitcoin in the most sensible way possible.
Our values
Accessibility
We pride ourselves on an easy to use, mobile-first experience ensuring you maximize your Bitcoin accumulation.
Bitcoin only
We actually care about changing the world for the better, which is why we always have and always will focus on Bitcoin.
Intelligent investing
We believe that preserving wealth is best done with an intelligent and sensible long-term approach.
Where are we now?
Based in Brisbane, Australia, Amber is on a mission to empower everyone with the ability to build enduring wealth by simplifying access to the best version possible of the tool we call money – Bitcoin.
Our team is driven by a passion for creating solutions that make Bitcoin more accessible. We revel in seeing not only our customers, but the wider community make positive steps toward a better future via this access, and look forward to the day the financial and economics framework we live within becomes more robust and equitable.
