Investing in Samson Mow's JAN3
Yo Bitcoiners - Happy Whitepaper Day!!
It’s a very special day and we’re very excited to present this latest deal for JAN3. Founded in 2022 by Samson Mow, a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community, JAN3 is on a mission to accelerate global hyperbitcoinization through its nation-state advisory services and the development of AQUA, a comprehensive Bitcoin and Liquid wallet with native stablecoin support.
JAN3’s leadership team includes influential figures such as Prince Filip Karađorđević and Michael Rosen, with key advisors like Dr. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream. | JAN3 CEO Samson Mow with Prince Filip Karađorđević |
JAN3 operates at the unique intersection of government advisory services and consumer-facing Bitcoin technology, capturing value from both retail and institutional markets. The AQUA Wallet allows users to purchase Bitcoin directly in-app with competitive fees and is integrating local on and off-ramp providers for a seamless experience, with revenue-share agreements in place at 50% with partners.
Since its launch in January 2024, AQUA has achieved over 42,000 downloads and significant swap volumes across Bitcoin and USDt transactions. Key metrics include:
Swap volume, Lightning to Liquid: 128 BTC ($7.2M)
Swap volume, Liquid to Lightning: 110 BTC ($6.3M)
Swap volume, USDt: $2.5M
JAN3’s influence extends to five nations actively engaged in Bitcoin adoption efforts, including El Salvador, Suriname, Colombia, Montenegro, and Indonesia. As a key advisor to El Salvador, JAN3 supports initiatives like the Bitcoin City project and Bitcoin-backed bond programs. The company is also in discussions with Argentina following the election of Bitcoin-friendly leadership, with early-stage engagements ongoing in other regions.
Looking ahead, JAN3 plans to expand AQUA Wallet into more LATAM countries and other regions, with upcoming integrations in Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Europe, and the US.
AQUA’s roadmap includes new features for marketplace lending and insurance, while JAN3 continues to lead nation-state engagements and further embrace innovation with Lightning and Liquid infrastructure.
Bitcoin Bonds: JAN3 introduces innovative financial products like Bitcoin bonds, providing new ways for nation-states and cities to raise capital, boost infrastructure investment, and reduce long-term liabilities.
JAN3 Financial: Offering secure and personalized services for buying, selling, and storing Bitcoin, JAN3 Financial caters to nation-states, companies, and high-net-worth individuals. Low fees and worldwide service ensure that clients can take control of their financial future.
With the Bitcoin market projected to reach 1 billion users by 2028, JAN3 is well-positioned for substantial growth, making this a remarkable opportunity for investors to support its vision and growth trajectory. We are excited to bring this opportunity to our Lightning⚡️Ventures network to double down on JAN3 and back them as they continue to perform at the highest level.
