Building the world's most trusted financial institution

Our mission at River

I founded River in 2019 to build the bitcoin bank of the world.

Bitcoin is becoming the world's dominant reserve asset. As it does, it creates a new foundation for financial institutions built on sound money with trust at their core.

River is that institution.

We're building the world's most trusted financial institution with bitcoin at its core to accelerate the return to sound money.

— Alex Leishman, Founder, CEO & CTO at River

Proof of reserves & public financials

The gold standard for financial institutions

We publish our reserves and financials so you can review River's financial health and full-reserve custody for yourself.

Proof of Reserves

You deserve to know your money is safe. River proves that your bitcoin is held in full-reserve cold storage custody.

Public Financials

You deserve to know your financial institution is sound. That's why River publishes its financials and fortress balance sheet.

Our vision for the future

Bitcoin will unlock a prosperous future

Bitcoin is powering a new financial system where everyone can build lasting wealth.

Saving in bitcoin will become the norm

Every person and business will store their wealth in bitcoin.

We're entering a dual money era

In the future, people will increasingly save in bitcoin, but still spend dollars.
