Lightning-Network-native fiat-to-Bitcoin rail
The verdict
7.5 / 10 · CONSIDER
Strike (Chicago, founded 2020) is a Lightning-Network-native app — buy BTC instantly with USD/EUR/USDT, send via Lightning. Pioneered Bitcoin Lightning-Network adoption; founder Jack Mallers was a vocal advocate of El Salvador's Bitcoin legal-tender rollout in 2021 (the country's Chivo Wallet was built by AlphaPoint, not Strike). Integrated as a Lightning rail by Cash App and Twitter (legacy).
