Bitcoin News Today: Thesis* Develops Integrated Earnings Platform to Foster a Circular Bitcoin Economy

Lolli, a leading

rewards platform and a portfolio company under the venture studio Thesis, has taken over Slice, a browser extension that lets users passively earn Bitcoin as they browse. Announced on October 30, 2025, this acquisition seeks to bring together the currently scattered Bitcoin rewards landscape by merging Slice’s browsing-based earning approach with Lolli’s established platform, which already enables users to collect Bitcoin through shopping and gaming. This unified service will remove the hassle of managing multiple accounts, making it easier for users to access Bitcoin rewards, while also broadening merchant collaborations and extending its global presence, according to .

Matt Luongo, the Founder and CEO of Thesis, highlighted the strategic value of the acquisition, noting that this integration will "make it easier than ever for newly minted Bitcoiners to stack sats." He pointed out that this move is part of a larger wave of consolidation within the Bitcoin rewards industry, and Thesis intends to pursue more such opportunities. The acquisition follows a recent collaboration with Mezo, another Thesis initiative, which will support user withdrawals and further improve the platform’s functionality, the report stated.

Since its launch in 2018, Lolli has helped more than 600,000 users earn Bitcoin through partnerships with over 50,000 retailers and more than 1,000 mobile games. Slice, on the other hand, has attracted users by offering Bitcoin rewards for routine online activities without requiring them to change their browsing behavior. By merging, the two companies will create a single platform that rewards both shopping and browsing, while also expanding Slice’s network of merchants and establishing it as a global hub for Bitcoin rewards, as noted by Chainwire.

Thesis, which previously launched projects such as Fold, Mezo, and tBTC, described the acquisition as a move toward establishing a "circular Bitcoin economy," enabling users to earn and grow their Bitcoin holdings actively. The studio’s emphasis on BitcoinFi—financial services built on Bitcoin—mirrors broader industry trends to make Bitcoin more useful beyond just investment or storage. Luongo remarked that this acquisition demonstrates increasing trust in Bitcoin’s potential for everyday financial use, a view supported by recent market trends like higher onchain fees and growing institutional involvement, according to the report.

This transaction represents Thesis’s second significant acquisition in the Bitcoin rewards sector, following earlier efforts to bring together fragmented platforms. While the financial details of the deal remain undisclosed, the company has indicated that more integrations with its BitcoinFi ecosystem are planned for the near future. For now, the merged platform is expected to draw in more users by making Bitcoin rewards easier to access, which could help drive broader adoption among mainstream consumers, the Chainwire article concluded.
