Feb. 24, 2026 – Satlantis has launched a new events and ticketing platform that integrates Bitcoin payments directly into user accounts, enabling organizers to issue tickets and receive payments without relying solely on traditional processors.

The platform, which functions similarly to Eventbrite and Luma, automatically generates a unique Bitcoin wallet for each event, allowing direct payments and withdrawals. Organizers can also manage ticket tiers, attendee lists, and event pages from a single dashboard.

Satlantis integrates with Stripe to process fiat payments and plans to add stablecoin support in the future. Investors in the startup include Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and Timechain Capital, a venture fund dedicated to Bitcoin infrastructure projects.

A key feature of the platform is its use of Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, a layer-2 protocol that processes payments off-chain to reduce fees and speed up transactions. The network’s transaction volume reached an estimated $1.1 billion across 5.2 million transactions in November, according to River marketing director Sam Wouters.

“By embedding Lightning wallets directly into events, Satlantis allows organizers to accept Bitcoin, traditional currency, or both while minimizing transaction costs,” the company said in a statement.

The launch reflects a growing trend of cryptocurrency adoption in live events. Professional sports teams and travel companies have experimented with digital-asset payments for over a decade. The Sacramento Kings became the first NBA team to accept Bitcoin in 2014, followed by the Dallas Mavericks in 2019.

Blockchain-based ticketing has also explored financing and settlement innovations. Companies like KYD Labs’ TIX network aim to turn tickets into tokenized assets for upfront capital and automated repayment flows. Major sporting bodies, including FIFA, have experimented with NFTs tied to events. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA sold “right-to-buy” NFTs giving holders a reserved window to purchase match tickets at face value, tradable on its NFT marketplace.

Satlantis’s approach highlights how Bitcoin and blockchain technology are increasingly being integrated into mainstream ticketing and events, offering low-cost, borderless payment options for organizers and attendees alike.
