Lolli, a Bitcoin rewards platform now part of the Bitcoin-centric venture studio Thesis*, has acquired Slice, a browser extension that enables users to earn Bitcoin passively while browsing the web.
This acquisition combines two complementary methods of earning Bitcoin—shopping and passive browsing—into one platform, enhancing the user experience and expanding opportunities to “stack sats” during everyday online activities.
Established in 2018, Lolli allows users to earn free Bitcoin on purchases from over 50,000 leading retailers and through more than 1,000 mobile games. The platform has facilitated Bitcoin accumulation for over 600,000 users through simple, everyday activities, as noted in a company release.
With Slice added to its offerings, Lolli now rewards users for their web browsing, streaming, and online scrolling, creating a cohesive ecosystem where earning Bitcoin is effortless.
Slice is a browser extension crafted to reward users for their passive online actions and comes with integrated Lightning Network support for withdrawals.
Faster withdrawals via Layer 2s
This integration propels Lolli’s adoption of the Layer 2 network, facilitating quicker, more affordable, and smaller Bitcoin withdrawals—addressing user concerns about withdrawal difficulties and high minimum amounts.
“Lightning makes small withdrawals economically viable in ways that Layer-1 transactions could not,” the Lolli team stated.
The merger also highlights Thesis*’s ongoing commitment to consolidating the Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. Founded in 2014, Thesis* is an innovative venture studio focused on creating Bitcoin-first solutions that empower individuals and communities.
Its portfolio features Fold, Mezo, tBTC, Acre, and Taho. The acquisition of Slice represents Thesis*’s second significant action in the Bitcoin rewards arena, following Lolli’s earlier integration, reflecting the strategy to unify a previously fragmented market.
Matt Luongo, Founder and CEO of Thesis*, emphasized the strategic relevance of the acquisition: “Together, Slice and Lolli will simplify the process for new Bitcoin users to stack sats. Those already earning on Lolli will be able to enhance their reward potential just by browsing online.”
Luongo furthermore highlighted that Thesis* is systematically rebuilding Lolli’s app and infrastructure, commencing with Layer 2 and sidechain integrations, and plans to extend onchain withdrawal options in the future.
From a user standpoint, the acquisition guarantees continuity: current Lolli users will retain their accounts and rewards, while Slice users can continue earning Bitcoin through passive browsing.
Over time, the unified platform will integrate withdrawals through Mezo, Thesis*’s Bitcoin sidechain, and broaden merchant partnerships to establish a truly global Bitcoin rewards ecosystem.
As the Bitcoin rewards sector expands, this acquisition reflects the larger trend of consolidation and product integration.
