BitPay is the largest Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment processor, founded in 2011 by Stephen Pair and Tony Gallippi. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, BitPay enables businesses to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies as payment while settling in fiat currency or stablecoins. The company processes over a billion dollars in payments annually for merchants worldwide.

BitPay provides payment integrations for e-commerce platforms, invoicing tools, and point-of-sale systems. Merchants can settle payments in local fiat currency, eliminating exposure to cryptocurrency price volatility. BitPay supports settlement in over 200 countries and territories, making it one of the most widely available crypto payment solutions.

Beyond merchant services, BitPay offers the BitPay Wallet (an open-source, multi-currency wallet) and the BitPay Card, a prepaid Mastercard that allows users to spend their crypto holdings at any merchant that accepts Mastercard. The company also provides a platform for bill payments, allowing users to pay bills and purchase gift cards using cryptocurrency.
