New York City, NY, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- US players searching for a bitcoin casino no deposit bonus face a frustrating reality: banks block transactions, withdrawals take forever, and most bonus offers come with impossible wagering requirements. BC Poker offers something different - a $5 free Bitcoin no deposit bonus, real poker games, and withdrawals processed entirely through the blockchain.Claim your $5 free Bitcoin no deposit bonus at BC Poker →Why Bitcoin No Deposit Bonuses Matter for American PlayersOnline gambling access in the United States remains deeply problematic. Payment processors flag transactions, banks decline deposits, and withdrawals on traditional platforms can take five to ten business days - sometimes longer when "additional verification" gets requested.This explains why searches for bitcoin casino USA no deposit bonus have grown so dramatically. Bitcoin removes the banking layer entirely. Transactions happen peer-to-peer on the blockchain. No bank approval needed. No card network involvement. No payment processor deciding whether your withdrawal request gets processed today or next week.A no deposit bonus adds another protection layer. Instead of committing funds to an unfamiliar platform, players can test deposits, gameplay, and withdrawals without risking their own money. When you combine crypto speed with risk-free testing, the appeal becomes obvious.The American Gaming Association has documented these access issues extensively. For many players, trying to gamble online in the US feels like navigating an obstacle course designed to discourage participation. A bitcoin casino no deposit bonus instant withdrawal setup represents the ideal workaround.What Makes a Bitcoin Casino No Deposit Bonus Legitimate in 2026Not all no deposit bonus bitcoin casino offers deliver equal value. The concept sounds straightforward - free Bitcoin to play real games - but execution varies wildly.Common problems include excessive wagering requirements (50x or higher rollover making withdrawals mathematically impossible), restricted game contributions (poker counting only 10% toward clearing), geographic limitations applied after registration, and maximum withdrawal caps regardless of actual winnings.These issues explain why search intent has shifted toward specific phrases like free bitcoin casino no deposit bonus with reasonable terms and best bitcoin casino no deposit bonus that actually pays out.BC Poker structures its $5 free Bitcoin no deposit bonus to avoid the worst pitfalls. Terms still apply - every legitimate bonus has conditions - but they're designed around realistic gameplay rather than mathematical impossibility.See the actual bonus terms at BC Poker →BC Poker's Crypto-Native Architecture: Why It MattersHere's a fundamental distinction: BC Poker isn't a traditional casino that added Bitcoin support later. The platform is crypto-native from the ground up. Bitcoin isn't an alternative payment method - it's the default currency everything runs on.This architectural choice affects everything for US players seeking a bitcoin casino no deposit bonus USA experience that actually works.Deposit processing. You send Bitcoin directly to the platform. The transaction confirms on-chain, funds appear in your account. No intermediary can block or delay the transfer.Bonus crediting. The $5 free Bitcoin no deposit bonus credits within the same system. No conversion from fiat, no payment processor involvement, no potential failure points.Withdrawal processing. When you request a withdrawal, BC Poker processes it directly through the blockchain. No bank approval queue. ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
Solid Q4 2024 Bookings with an ACV of €3.25mGradual Recovery in Bookings Momentum: ACV Nearly Stable (-2.8% vs. H2 2024), After a Weaker H1 2025 (-21% vs. the Record H1 2024)Strong Revenue Growth in 2025: Up 14% at Constant Currency, Including 20% Growth in SaaS Subscriptions (Up 12% and 18%, Respectively, on a Reported Basis)Expansion in Asia-Pacific and Strengthening of Growth Levers Following the Acquisition of ezyCollectThe United States Becomes the Group’s Leading Region, Representing 30% of 2025 Revenue, with Growth of 25%International Markets Account for 71% of 2025 RevenueAutonomous AI Agent: Four Multinationals in the Deployment PhaseISO 27001 Certification Renewed and SOC Type II Reports PublishedLeading ESG Performance Recognized by EthiFinance and EcoVadisSidetrade, a global leader in AI-powered Order-to-Cash applications, announces revenue growth of 14% at constant currency and 12% on a reported basis, driven by the increasing contribution of international markets and a new growth driver in the Asia-Pacific region. 2025 was also marked by Aimie’s new agentic capabilities, positioning her as the first autonomous and interactive AI Agent dedicated to cash collection.Olivier Novasque, CEO and Founder of Sidetrade, commented:"After a challenging first half marked by weaker bookings, driven by both the macroeconomic environment and an exceptionally unfavorable comparison base effect following the record first half of 2024, Sidetrade gradually regained consistent commercial momentum in the second half of the year. This momentum is expected to continue and potentially accelerate over the coming quarters.The launch of Sidetrade’s AI Cash Collection Agent, fully autonomous and scheduled for commercial release in the first quarter of 2026, has already secured pre-orders from four multinational companies. Currently in the qualification phase and undergoing advanced testing, the planned deployment into live production of 15 agents by the end of the first quarter of 2026 will enable the qualification of tens of thousands of invoices involving thousands of B2B debtors, without human intervention. A world first in the Order-to-Cash industry. In the context of the agentic AI transformation, reshaping entire sectors of the economy and redefining the relationship between humans and work, the launch of this autonomous Agent marks only the first phase of Sidetrade’s AI strategy. An even more disruptive roadmap will be unveiled shortly.From a business perspective, Sidetrade sustained its growth trajectory in 2025, with revenue up 14% including 20% growth in subscriptions at constant currency. This performance, particularly strong in subscriptions, reflects an equal contribution from organic growth of 10% and the relevance and effective execution of our external growth strategy, also contributing 10%, driven by the successive acquisitions of SHS Viveon in Germany and ezyCollect in Asia-Pacific. The latter represents a new growth lever for the Group and is expected to accelerate the deployment of our agentic AI within the SME segment, which has a structurally strong demand for scalable, cost-efficient resources.Over the past four years, Sidetrade has nearly doubled in size, reaching €36.8 million in revenue in 2022, and has become a global player, with 71% of revenue generated internationally. The Group now serves all market segments, from small businesses to multinational corporations. Beyond the financial metrics, the AI strategy initiated in 2016 continues to deliver tangible results and is expected to accelerate further in 2026, making the next three years particularly exciting.”Gradual Recovery in Commercial Momentum in H2 2025Sidetrade closed Q4 2025 with new Annual Contract Value (ACV) of €3.25 million, down by 14% year over year compared with Q4 2024. This performance included €1.3 million in new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) subscriptions and €1.95 million in services bookings.After a first half marked by a 21% decline, driven by a challenging economic environment and a particularly demanding comparison base (with H1 2024 representing an all-time record), booking activity stabilized in the second half of 2025. For H2 2025, ACV bookings totaled €5.16 million, compared with €5.31 million in H2 2024, representing a limited decrease of 2.8%. This comprised €1.88 million in new ARR subscriptions and €3.28 million in services bookings....offsetting the full-year decline in 2025For full-year 2025, ACV bookings totaled €11.04 million, compared with €12.73 million in 2024, including €4.32 million in New ARR subscriptions and €6.71 million in services bookings. The improvement observed in the second half reduced the contraction from 21% in the first half to 13% for the year as a whole. Beyond the macroeconomic headwinds, which prompted increased caution among large enterprise customers, the level of bookings achieved in 2025 (€11.04 million) remained close to that of 2023 (€11.3 million), the reference year preceding the all-time record set in 2024.Strong Revenue Growth in 2025: 14% Overall, Including 20% Growth in SaaS Subscriptions at Constant Currency (Up 12% and 18%, Respectively, on a Reported Basis)Sidetrade(€m)20252024ChangeSaaS subscriptions53.545.5+18%Revenue61.455.0+12%2025 figures are based on unaudited consolidated data.Sidetrade delivered sustained growth in 2025, with consolidated revenue of €61.4 million, up 14% at constant currency (12% on a reported basis). SaaS subscription revenue for 2025 reached €53.5 million, representing growth of 20% at constant currency (18% on a reported basis). On a like-for-like basis (excluding the consolidation of SHS Viveon in H2 2024 and ezyCollect in Q4 2025), organic growth at constant currency amounted to 10% in 2025, underscoring the resilience of Sidetrade’s recurring revenue base in a volatile macroeconomic environment.The Group’s enterprise-focused commercial strategy continues to deliver results. Subscriptions from companies generating more than €2.5 billion in annual revenue increased by 23% and accounted for 54% of the Enterprise portfolio. This performance confirms the relevance of Sidetrade's positioning with multinational organizations.International expansion remains a key growth driver. In 2025, 71% of revenue was generated outside France, reflecting Sidetrade’s expanding geographic footprint and global scale. Within this dynamic, North America recorded growth of 25% at constant currency, becoming the Group’s leading region and representing 30% of total revenue.In FY 2025, ezyCollect contributed €2.2 million in revenue following its integration on October 1, 2025. Its activities, now reported within the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines), represented 13% of Group revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025. This newly established region is emerging as an additional growth engine for the Group.Autonomous AI Agent: Four Multinationals in the Deployment PhaseSidetrade has reached a technological threshold by equipping Aimie with agentic capabilities. This marks the first building block in an architecture of specialized AI Agents designed to collaborate and industrialize execution across the Order-to-Cash cycle.In May 2025, Aimie was introduced as the first autonomous, interactive AI Cash Collection Agent, capable of executing dunning actions and interacting with humans by phone. This agentic AI has since evolved from intelligent automation and conversational assistance to closed-loop execution with controlled autonomy. Within a defined governance framework, Aimie can leverage transactional and behavioral signals from the Sidetrade Data Lake to call customers at the optimal time, qualify an outstanding invoice with the debtor, and then deliver a contextualized transcript into the Sidetrade platform providing traceability and faster execution for customer-facing teams.For large organizations, maintaining control over rules and ensuring traceability of actions, under supervision aligned with credit policies and compliance requirements, are prerequisites. For finance teams, the objective is to increase productivity and systematize the use of phone calls, which is recognized as the most effective channel in cash collection. The ultimate goal is to accelerate cash generation and standardize execution at scale.During the pre-launch phase, four multinationals chose to evaluate the Aimie Agent in real-world conditions. The objective is to move 15 autonomous Cash Collection Agents into production by the end of the first quarter of 2026, enabling these multinationals to scale their collections operations, reaching thousands of debtors and qualifying tens of thousands of invoices without human intervention, a world first in corporate finance.ISO 27001 Certification Renewed and SOC Type II Reports PublishedSidetrade strengthens its trust foundation for global enterprise customers with the renewal of its ISO/IEC 27001 certification, aligned with the latest version of the norm (2022), and the publication of SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II reports.These certifications provide auditable proof of the maturity of Sidetrade’s controls, governance, and risk management, as expected by IT, Risk, and Procurement teams within large organizations. The result: reduced friction during security due diligence, shorter validation cycles, and the ability to deploy solutions at scale across multi-entity and multi-country environments without compromising operational control.Leading ESG Performance Recognized by EthiFinance and EcoVadisIn 2025, Sidetrade validated the maturity of its ESG approach through two benchmark assessments:EthiFinance awarded Sidetrade a Gold medal with a score of 79/100, an increase of 6 points vs. 2024.EcoVadis ranked Sidetrade in the top 15% worldwide and in the "Advanced” category for its sector, above industry standards. These recognitions serve as valuable external proof points for enterprise customers, partners, and investors. They reflect the continued strengthening of ESG policies, controls, and performance indicators, and reinforce Sidetrade’s credibility in procurement, risk, and compliance processes at a time when CSRD requirements demand more auditable and comparable reporting.Sidetrade enters the 2026 fiscal year with confidence, a clear strategic vision, and the resources required to deliver on its ambitions.Next financial announcementAnnual Results for 2025: March 31, 2026 (after the stock market closes)Investor relations @SidetradeChristelle Dhrif 00 33 6 10 46 72 00 cdhrif@sidetrade.com Media relations @SidetradeOli Thornton 00 44 7933 108 107 oli.thornton@sidetrade.comAbout Sidetrade (www.sidetrade.com)Sidetrade (Euronext Growth: ALBFR.PA) is an AI company redefining how enterprises secure and accelerate cash flow.

Metaprotocol targets 1-2 second confirmations, 1,000+ TPS, and 100x lower fees while settling entirely on BitcoinDover, DE, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unspendable Labs today announced plans for Kontor, its Bitcoin metaprotocol, to achieve three major scaling capabilities: low-latency confirmations of 1-2 seconds for real-time usability, high throughput of over 1,000 transactions per second for mass-scale adoption, and dramatically lower fees, roughly 1/100th the cost of standard Bitcoin transactions - all while settling entirely on the Bitcoin blockchain.The announcement makes Kontor the first protocol to address Bitcoin's core scaling limitations without compromising its industry-leading security."Bitcoin's 10-minute blocks are a feature, not a bug, they're what make it the most secure blockchain in existence," said Adam Krellenstein, CEO. "Kontor doesn't try to change Bitcoin. Instead, we've built a layer that gives users fast confirmations, high throughput, and low fees while Bitcoin continues to do what it does best: provide unmatched security and finality."Kontor NetworkHow Kontor WorksKontor operates as a metaprotocol, every Kontor transaction is simply data stored inside a regular Bitcoin transaction. This approach, called embedded consensus, means Kontor inherits Bitcoin's security guarantees by design: if Bitcoin is secure, Kontor is secure.Low Latency: 1-2 Second ConfirmationsTo achieve speed without sacrificing security, Kontor introduces optimistic consensus. A network of stakers runs BFT consensus to assign transaction ordering before Bitcoin confirmation, enabling 1-2 second confirmations backed by slashable collateral. Users receive explicit economic finality - they know exactly how much stake backs each transaction and can calibrate acceptance thresholds accordingly.High Throughput: 1,000+ Transactions Per SecondKontor employs aggressive payload optimization to dramatically increase transaction capacity. The network can process over 1,000 transactions per second - compared to roughly 10 TPS for vanilla Bitcoin - without requiring any changes to the Bitcoin protocol itself.Lower Costs: 100x Fee ReductionKontor's payload optimizations - including BLS signature aggregation, registry-based ID compression, and binary encoding with Zstd compression - reduce transaction costs to roughly 1/100th of equivalent Bitcoin operations.By the NumbersLow Latency: 1-2 second confirmations with economic finality (vs. 10+ minutes for vanilla Bitcoin)High Throughput: 1,000+ transactions per second (vs. ~10 TPS for vanilla Bitcoin)Lower Costs: ~1/100th the cost of standard Bitcoin transactionsSecurity: 100% on Bitcoin - no sidechains, no rollups "We're not asking anyone to trust a new blockchain or move their assets somewhere else," said Krellenstein. "Every Kontor transaction settles on Bitcoin. The ten-minute blocks remain, as strong as ever, Kontor users just no longer need to wait for them."Press InquiriesAdam Krellensteinadam [at] unspendablelabs.com
