Our story
Discovering Bitcoin is the start of a lifelong journey.
We’ll be one of your many travel companions.

Our why
Amber was conceived in late 2017. After spending a number of years trying to convince people to just “buy some bitcoin”, Amber founder Aleks Svetski noticed that he 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
The initial 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 movement, with the aim to help people “stack sats” on autopilot.
Since then, Amber has grown to help thousands of Australians from all walks of life acquire some Bitcoin in the most sensible way possible.
