Fold, Inc., a prominent Bitcoin rewards and payments platform, marked its recent entry into the public market by ringing the Nasdaq Stock Market’s opening bell today. The ceremony, held at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, signifies a key achievement for the company in its ongoing mission to integrate Bitcoin into everyday financial activities.
“Ringing the bell at Nasdaq is a celebration of the journey from Bitcoin’s edges to the heart of global finance,” stated Will Reeves, CEO of Fold. “We’re proud to represent the everyday use of Bitcoin in a market long dominated by speculation.”
Fold originated as a venture of Thesis*, a venture studio focused on building foundational products for Bitcoin’s future. Since Fold’s spin-off, Thesis* has continued to provide support, contributing to its evolution into a leading consumer platform.
The event was attended by Fold’s leadership, early employees, and long-standing community members. The bell-ringing was broadcast live globally and featured on the Nasdaq tower screens in Times Square.
Fold began trading under the ticker symbol $FLD on February 19, 2025, following its transition to the public markets. The company has experienced rapid growth, amassing hundreds of thousands of users who earn Bitcoin rewards through everyday purchases, debit card usage, and merchant integrations.
The bell ceremony underscores Fold’s dedication to making Bitcoin mainstream through practical utility, user-friendly design, and consumer-focused products.
