Bitcoin Well Transforms Debt into Equity, Enhancing Access to Bitcoin

Bitcoin Well, a company from Canada that focuses on non-custodial

solutions, has distributed common shares as compensation for services under its partnership with Energon Entertainment (Simply Bitcoin). The company revealed it issued 412,740 shares at a price of C$0.15 each for services delivered between March 1 and May 31, 2025, along with another 458,066 shares at C$0.135 each for services rendered from June 1 to August 31, 2025. These actions were given the green light by the TSX Venture Exchange and are part of a sponsorship arrangement first announced on July 24, 2025.

This initiative is part of Bitcoin Well’s broader plans to optimize its financial processes and strengthen its financial position. Previously, the company outlined a separate plan to settle debts by issuing shares, using this method to clear outstanding liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, Bitcoin Well planned to clear CAD 139,817 in debt through share issuance, with CAD 104,155 settled via 801,190 shares at C$0.13 per share and CAD 35,662 settled by providing 342,903 shares at C$0.104 per share. The newly issued shares are locked for a four-month period, during which they cannot be traded.

A subsidiary wholly owned by one of the company’s board members took part in this debt settlement, which categorizes the deal as a related-party transaction under MI 61-101 rules. However, Bitcoin Well clarified that the deal qualified for regulatory exemptions because both the size and value of the transaction were less than 25% of the company’s overall market value.

At the same time, Bitcoin Well has been upgrading its technology to encourage wider Bitcoin adoption. The company recently launched Lightning Network support on its U.S. site, allowing users to make quicker and more affordable transactions. This update enables Bitcoin to be instantly swapped for U.S. dollars and deposited directly into users’ bank accounts, removing the need for middlemen and cutting down on transaction costs. This feature supports Bitcoin Well’s goal of “making Bitcoin practical for daily use” by simplifying and improving the Bitcoin selling process.

Bitcoin Well’s non-custodial system remains a key distinction in the crypto industry. While many platforms require transferring assets into custodial wallets, Bitcoin Well lets users retain complete control of their Bitcoin at all times. This approach reduces exposure risk and fits with the growing trend toward self-custody in digital assets. The adoption of the Lightning Network further strengthens this strategy by providing near-instant transactions without sacrificing safety.

Through its financial strategies and tech advancements, Bitcoin Well continues to draw interest from both investors and crypto enthusiasts. The company has kept its communications open, encouraging people to follow their updates on social media and offering online meetings with the CEO. It’s worth noting that any forward-looking statements from Bitcoin Well are clearly identified and come with reminders of possible risks and uncertainties.

With these initiatives, Bitcoin Well is showing its commitment to both technological progress and financial responsibility. By adopting the Lightning Network and leveraging shares to settle debts, the company is positioning itself as a forward-looking player in the rapidly changing cryptocurrency market.
