Acropolis and Timestamp Empower Startups to Run the Strategy Playbook Without Wall Street Access

BOSTON, July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As publicly traded giants like Strategy, Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, and even Gamestop tap public capital markets to buy Bitcoin at scale, a new financial divide has emerged. Large corporations are securing their future with low-cost capital and Bitcoin-backed balance sheets—while private startups, equally Bitcoin-native, have been left on the sidelines.

That ends today.

Acropolis, the premier outsourced Bitcoin Treasury team, and Timestamp, the regulated investment platform purpose-built for the Bitcoin economy, have joined forces to unlock this once-exclusive treasury strategy for private companies of all sizes. Through this partnership, founders can now raise capital from aligned investors on Timestamp’s platform and deploy that capital into secure Bitcoin treasury custody with Acropolis. Together, the two firms are enabling startups to build sovereign, Bitcoin-backed balance sheets without giving up significant control or relying on Wall Street.

“This is the democratization of the Bitcoin treasury strategy,” said Chase Palmieri, CEO of Acropolis. “We’ve watched public companies blaze the trail, but now, private startups can run the same playbook—with more nimble executive teams and a community of equity-aligned supporters behind them.”

For founders, this model offers a powerful flywheel: raise capital through Timestamp, plan and execute a Bitcoin treasury strategy with Acropolis’ guidance, and secure Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset via institutional-grade custody architecture.

“We built Timestamp to fund the companies building for a world on the Bitcoin standard,” said Dr. Arman Meguerian, CEO of Timestamp. “Partnering with Acropolis provides a bridge that connects both sides of a company’s capital strategy: capital formation through Timestamp and capital preservation through Acropolis.”

The partnership marks a turning point in corporate Bitcoin treasury adoption. No longer limited to the Fortune 500, Bitcoin treasuries are now within reach for the builders, startups, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs shaping the next era of financial resilience.
