Lolli’s 600,000 users can earn bitcoin automatically by linking a Visa or Mastercard inside the Lolli app. Kard’s card-linked offer network uses first-party transaction data from tens of millions of cardholders to deliver bitcoin-native rewards on qualifying purchases at participating merchants. Rewards post directly to users’ Lolli wallets, and users can withdraw accumulated bitcoin via the Lightning Network or move funds into other products. The integration expands Lolli’s merchant access without requiring individual offer activation, with merchants including Dropbox, Hydro Flask, and Stanley 1913. The rollout also connects Lolli earnings to Mezo’s borrowing layer, enabling loans against BTC at a fixed 1% APR without selling BTC, supporting a circular bitcoin economy strategy.
"Users who link a Visa or Mastercard inside the Lolli app now earn bitcoin on qualifying purchases at participating merchants. The rewards post directly to the user's Lolli wallet. Once rewards accumulate, users can withdraw bitcoin via the Lightning Network or route funds into other products in the Thesis* stack. That includes Mezo, a borrowing platform where users can take out loans against their BTC at a fixed 1% annual percentage rate without selling their BTC."
"Kard's first-party transaction data from tens of millions of cardholders gives Lolli merchants a new bitcoin-native consumer channel. The launch is described as Lolli's biggest product update since joining Thesis*, the bitcoin-focused venture studio. It gives the platform access to thousands of additional merchant offers without requiring users to activate each one individually. Merchants currently in the Kard network include Dropbox, Hydro Flask, and Stanley 1913, among dozens of others."
"Lolli users gain exposure to that catalog through a single card-linking step, and new merchants are added on an ongoing basis. Most people don't want to think about earning bitcoin. They want to live their lives and have it happen. Kard lets us deliver that. Our users link a card once, and bitcoin shows up in their wallet from spending they were already going to do."
"Thesis* plans to connect Lolli earnings to Mezo's 1% APR borrowing layer, deepening its circular bitcoin economy stack. The announcement, revealed May 19, 2026, and shared with Bitcoin.com News, connects Lolli's user base to Kard's independent commerce media network, which processes first-party transaction data from tens of millions of cardholders. The structure reflects a broader strategy at Thesis* to build what the company calls a circular bitcoin economy, where users earn, borrow, and spend bitcoin acros"
