About
bitika is a homegrown Kenyan platform making Bitcoin truly accessible to everyday people. As a non-custodial Bitcoin on-ramp, it lets users buy Bitcoin (in sats) instantly and directly with M-Pesa, Kenya’s most widely used mobile money service, with no KYC, no signups, no accounts, and no debit cards required.
In just three simple steps, anyone can enter an amount in KES (starting from as little as KES 10), paste their Lightning wallet address or invoice, and complete payment via M-Pesa STK push. Bitcoin arrives in seconds straight to the user’s self-custodial Lightning wallet.
Some Key Objectives
🔹Simplify Bitcoin access for Kenyan users by eliminating complexity, technical requirements, and middlemen so anyone with a phone and M-Pesa can participate immediately.
🔹Enable low-cost Bitcoin purchases via M-Pesa with instant on-ramps starting at just KES 10, leveraging familiar mobile money rails and Lightning’s efficiency for near-zero friction.
🔹Promote Bitcoin savings culture by making regular “stacking sats” effortless, helping Kenyans build long-term wealth in a scarce, decentralized asset they control.
🔹Increase financial inclusion through Bitcoin by bridging Kenya’s dominant mobile money ecosystem with Bitcoin’s borderless, permissionless financial system, especially for the unbanked and underbanked.
🔹Support grassroots Bitcoin adoption in Kenya by delivering a simple, local-first tool that drives organic, community-led growth and positions Kenya as a leader in Africa’s Bitcoin movement.
