Lolli partners with Kard to add auto bitcoin cashback

On May 19, 2026, Lolli announced a partnership with Kard that lets more than 600,000 U.S. users earn bitcoin automatically by linking a Visa or Mastercard in the Lolli app. Rewards post directly to users’ Lolli wallets and the integration removes the need for browser extensions, promo codes or special checkout flows.

Under the agreement, Lolli will access Kard’s card‑linked offer network and first‑party transaction data from tens of millions of cardholders. Users who connect an eligible card will earn bitcoin on qualifying purchases at participating merchants. Rewards are calculated from linked card transactions and credited automatically to users’ Lolli balances.

The Kard network includes merchants such as Dropbox, Hydro Flask and Stanley 1913. Lolli said the partnership gives access to thousands of additional offers delivered without manual activation. New merchants will be added on an ongoing basis and a single card‑linking step exposes users to the full catalog of offers.

Thesis*, the bitcoin‑focused venture studio that owns Lolli, described the integration as the platform’s biggest product update since Lolli joined Thesis*. Lolli users can withdraw earned bitcoin over the Lightning Network or route funds into other products in the Thesis* portfolio. The studio plans to connect Lolli earnings to Mezo, a borrowing product that offers loans against BTC at a fixed 1% annual percentage rate, allowing users to borrow without selling their bitcoin.

Kard’s system combines predictive artificial intelligence with first‑party transaction data to generate personalized offers at scale. Its API‑driven platform is designed to let fintechs and financial institutions run rewards programs without managing merchant relationships directly. For merchants, the deal provides a way to reach consumers who earn bitcoin through Lolli.

Matt Luongo, co‑founder of Thesis*, said, “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.” Ben Mackinnon, CEO of Kard, added, “We’re excited to power infrastructure that lets them earn bitcoin in the background of their everyday spending, and to give our merchants a meaningful new channel into that audience.”

Lolli began as a browser extension that paid bitcoin on online purchases and previously required users to shop through portals or activate deals manually. The card‑linked integration ties the earn mechanism to routine physical and digital card use, increasing the ways users can accumulate bitcoin from everyday spending.

The Thesis* portfolio includes other integrations such as services that let users spend bitcoin on gift cards and mobile top‑ups. The studio says its products are intended to let users earn, borrow and spend bitcoin across connected products without converting holdings to U.S. dollars.
