Lolli has introduced a new feature that allows users to earn Bitcoin automatically when they shop with linked debit or credit cards. The company partnered with Kard, a commerce media network, to power this seamless rewards system. Over 600,000 Lolli account holders can now link their eligible Visa or Mastercard cards through the Lolli app and immediately start accruing Bitcoin on purchases at thousands of retailers, including Dropbox, Hydro Flask, and Stanley 1913. No browser extensions, coupon codes, or extra checkout steps are required, making the process effortless.
The Bitcoin earned is deposited directly into the user’s Lolli wallet and can be withdrawn via the Lightning Network or used within the Thesis Bitcoin ecosystem, such as spending through Bitrefill. This marks Lolli’s most significant product update since being acquired by Thesis last July. Thesis co-founder Matt Luongo explained that the goal was to let users link a card once and have Bitcoin appear in their wallet from spending they already planned to do.
Kard CEO Ben Mackinnon highlighted that Lolli’s audience is a unique consumer group in the rewards space, and the partnership gives merchants a fresh channel to reach them. The card-linking process uses Plaid, and rewards are triggered by both online and in-person transactions at participating merchants. This approach removes all friction from earning Bitcoin, as users don’t need to manage a separate crypto card or change their spending habits.
According to crypto.news’ guide on the best crypto cards, consumer interest in crypto-linked payments has grown in 2026 alongside clearer regulations. The Bitcoin price, around $77,000 at the time of writing, means that cashback earned now represents real-time market acquisition with potential for appreciation. Similar trends are seen with Revolut’s recent launch of a physical crypto card, indicating a shift toward making Bitcoin rewards a standard feature in everyday spending.
