Popular Bitcoin (BTC) rewards app Lolli has received fresh backing from venture funds and other investors as it plans to scale its services to a wider audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the company announced it had closed a $10 million Series A funding round led by Acrew Capital, with additional participation from UpNorth Management, Animal Capital, Banana Capital and Formula. Influencers such as Logan Paul and Chantel Jeffries also participated. <\/p>\n
Several of Lolli\u2019s previous backers, including Seven Seven Six, 3K VC, Gabriel Leydon and Foreruner Ventures, also recommitted to the company in the latest fundraiser. <\/p>\n
Lolli said the financing will go towards enterprise-wide expansion, including hiring new talent, pursuing partnerships and further developing the recently launched mobile app. <\/p>\n
Alex Adelman, Lolli\u2019s co-founder and CEO, said his company\u2019s mission is to make Bitcoin \u201cmore accessible for all.\u201d He added:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe it\u2019s imperative to align with top creators to both educate, distribute, and amplify the power of bitcoin to the masses.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lauren Kolodny, Acrew Capital\u2019s co-founder and managing partner, described Lolli\u2019s services as providing a low barrier to entry for early Bitcoin users.<\/p>\n
Lolli has attracted several high-profile endorsements in the recent past. In March of this year, the company secured $5 million in investments to be used for further developing its mobile app. In May 2020, actor and entrepreneur Ashton Kutcher was one of several investors to participate in Lolli\u2019s oversubscribed $3 million seed round. <\/p>\n
On the business front, Lolli secured a major partnership with auction marketplace eBay in November of last year. Users who downloaded the Chrome extension were able to earn 1% back in Bitcoin when they shop on eBay. <\/p>\n
