Deep in Fishlake National Forest, Utah, there grows a forest unlike any other. What looks like 47,000 individual aspen trees is actually a single living organism — all connected by one vast underground root system. Scientists call it Pando, Latin for “I spread.” It is one of the largest and oldest living things on Earth.

We named our company after it deliberately. Because that’s exactly what we’re building — one connected network of merchants, all rooted in the same Bitcoin infrastructure, all spreading the same financial freedom. Every business we onboard strengthens the whole.

No processing fees. Instant USD. No Bitcoin knowledge required. Just a network that grows — one root at a time.

Common questions

Not at all. Your customer pays with their Bitcoin app and you receive USD. From your perspective, it works exactly like a card payment — except there are no fees and no chargebacks. We configure everything and train your staff. You never need to understand the underlying technology.
No. With the auto-convert setup (most popular option), Bitcoin is converted to USD the instant you receive it. By the time it hits your account, it’s already dollars. You have zero exposure to Bitcoin price volatility — it’s just a payment rail, like Visa or Mastercard, but free.
Bitcoin payments are final — just like cash. There are no chargebacks, which protects you. For refunds, you handle them the same way you’d handle a cash refund: store credit, gift card, or cash back. You control your refund policy. The upside? You’ll never face a surprise chargeback 90 days later.
Any device with a modern web browser and WiFi — iPad, Android tablet, phone, or laptop. Unlike competitors, our system is 100% web-based, so there’s nothing to install and no app store required. If you want a dedicated terminal, we offer a turnkey iPad solution for $299.
Anyone with a Bitcoin Lightning wallet — Cash App, Strike, Wallet of Satoshi, Phoenix, and many others. The QR code we generate works with any compatible app. You keep accepting all your existing payment methods too; Bitcoin is just an additional option that saves you fees.
No. You pay once for setup and that’s it. Strike (the app we use for conversion) is free. There are no monthly subscriptions, no per-transaction fees from us, and no hidden charges. The Lightning Network itself charges tiny fractions of a cent, but this is negligible — your customers’ wallets handle this.

Stop giving away 3% of every sale

Accept Bitcoin, receive dollars instantly, zero fees. No Bitcoin knowledge needed. Simple as accepting cash.
