From BTC to Milano: inside Bitizenship’s new Investor Visa route

Greetings Bitcoiner,

This is a special sponsored send for those of you thinking seriously about a second base in Europe without exiting Bitcoin.

Bitizenship, a Singapore-based fintech focused on Bitcoin-aligned residency, has just launched Bitizenship Italia S.r.l. (BTC Italia) in Milan — and with it, “The Bitcoin Dolce Visa”: a €250,000 startup equity route into Italy’s official Investor Visa program, built around a Bitcoin-native treasury model.

If you’ve been looking at EU options but don’t love the idea of shovelling capital into random funds or pure fiat exposure, this will be of interest.

Why Italy + Bitcoin, and why now?

Italy has quietly become one of Europe’s most interesting macro stories:

• 8th-largest economy in the world and 3rd-largest in the EU

• €612 billion in exports in 2024, with a €46 billion trade surplus

• The main stock market index has more than doubled (+120%) since 2020, beating the European average

• Government bond yields below France’s and public debt stabilised around ~127% of GDP

• Existing tax-incentive regimes already proven to attract capital

• A significant capital-market reform law is on the way, expected to make Italy even more dynamic for investors and operators

BTC Italia is Bitizenship’s way of plugging Bitcoin-native capital directly into that environment — via an Innovative Startup structure that sits inside Italy’s official framework.

What is “The Bitcoin Dolce Visa”?

The Bitcoin Dolce Visa is not a random side-door scheme. It’s a startup investment pathway that follows Italy’s Investor Visa rules, with a Bitcoin twist under the hood:

• Entity: Bitizenship Italia S.r.l., an Innovative Startup headquartered in Milan

• Ticket size: €250,000 equity investment into BTC Italia

• Pathway: Structured to qualify under Italy’s Investor Visa program

• Treasury model: Company treasury anchored in Bitcoin and used as working capital

• Core activity: Non-custodial BTC Layer-2 staking as the main operational focus

• Liquidity windows: Withdrawal / redemption windows every 24 months

Crucially, the sequencing is designed to be investor-friendly:

You don’t wire funds blindly and then hope the visa comes through — authorization comes first, then you complete the investment.

Track record & who’s behind it

This isn’t Bitizenship’s first rodeo.

• They’ve also launched the Portugal Bitcoin Eco Golden Visa Fund, the first regulated, explicitly Bitcoin-aligned residency structure of its kind.

• Across their products, they’ve already facilitated over €25 million in Bitcoin-aligned residency investments.

• They’ve onboarded Balaji Srinivasan — author of The Network State and former CTO of Coinbase — as an early backer, signalling a clear bet on the intersection of Bitcoin, mobility and digital sovereignty.

• BTC Italia is coming to market with €2 million in pre-launch private placement commitments already secured.

As co-founder Alessandro Palombo puts it:

Who this may be for

This is a niche opportunity, not a retail product. It may be relevant if:

• You’re a Bitcoin-aligned investor considering a European residency base for family, lifestyle, or strategic reasons.

• You’re comfortable with a €250K equity ticket and the risks of an early-stage, Bitcoin-focused startup.

• You want exposure to Italy’s macro and policy tailwinds, but prefer a structure that respects Bitcoin rather than treating it as an afterthought.

• You value regulatory clarity (official Investor Visa program) and like the idea of a Bitcoin-anchored corporate treasury over a purely fiat allocation.

If that describes you, this is a rare example of global mobility, Bitcoin alignment, and EU policy frameworks intersecting in a single structure.

What to expect if you reach out

Bitizenship is positioning BTC Italia as a high-touch, compliant program rather than a mass-market funnel. If you inquire, you can expect:

1. Qualification & fit call – to confirm your eligibility and whether the Investor Visa pathway is appropriate for your situation.

2. Detailed materials & risk overview – including more on the startup structure, treasury strategy, and Italian regulatory framework.

3. Step-by-step process map – from initial interest to visa application, authorization, and final investment.

4. Ongoing communication – around treasury operations, Bitcoin-layer strategy, and redemption windows.
