At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Blockstream didn’t just show up, it showed off. The company unveiled a sleek, self-custodial app designed to make buying and storing Bitcoin as easy as ordering takeout, minus the fees and trust issues that come with third parties.
This new app lets users buy Bitcoin directly and instantly tuck it into their own wallet. No middlemen, no centralized nonsense. Just you, your coins, and sweet financial sovereignty.
From Green to Great
Building on its existing Blockstream Green wallet, the upgraded version now supports both Bitcoin and Liquid assets. It’s got a shiny new interface for crypto newbies, but still keeps power features like hardware signing and air-gapped transactions for the Bitcoin hardcore. If you’re using Blockstream Jade, you’re still fully in the loop.
Introducing the Blockstream App: a new Bitcoin wallet that grows with you.

From first sats to advanced custody, it brings self-sovereignty into reach no matter where you start. Available now on Android, coming soon to iOS. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/UBiNHKh8bO
Oh, and the app now speaks 31 languages. Because financial freedom should come with subtitles.
New App, Bigger Vision
Blockstream’s CEO, Dr. Adam Back, made it clear: “Bitcoin is no longer chilling on the financial system’s sidelines, it’s taking the wheel.” Backdropped the mic with the company’s new mantra: The Future of Finance Runs on Bitcoin.
To make that happen, Blockstream is targeting three big lanes: Consumer, Enterprise, and Blockstream Asset Management (BAM). Whether you’re a retail user with a phone or a financial whale with a treasury to manage, there’s a seat for you on the Bitcoin rocket.
The company raised $210 million in 2024 to fuel this expansion, which included launching BAM to create institutional-grade Bitcoin investment products. Since then, it’s been making cozy deals with custodians, corporate treasuries, and financial firms to spread the gospel of the Liquid Network and AMP.
Even U.S. Vice President JD Vance showed up at the conference to toss in his pro-crypto two sats. He voiced support for more crypto-friendly regulation under the Trump administration, and casually revealed he's holding a substantial Bitcoin bag. Of course he is.
