Fold Bitcoin Debit Card

The reference bitcoin-back debit card in the US: sats on every swipe, FDIC pass-through on the dollar balance via Sutton Bank, BitGo custody and a Nasdaq-listed parent. Rewards are variable-rate spins rather than a fixed percentage - treat the sats as a bonus, not a yield.

A niche virtual-card service for online/media-buying use cases with crypto funding - usable for its purpose, but tier subscriptions, per-card fees and the niche positioning make it a poor general spending card.
