Cubits
Cubits ( cubits.com / @CubitsHQ )
Cubits was a UK-based Bitcoin services company (operating under Dooga Ltd.) that provided an all-in-one platform for buying/selling Bitcoin, a custodial wallet, and merchant payment processing (often described as a brokerage/exchange plus payments). (en.bitcoin.it)
What the organization did (historically)
Sources describing Cubits’ original service offering characterize it as:
- a Bitcoin exchange/brokerage for end users (buy/sell BTC in multiple fiat currencies), and
- a merchant solution for accepting Bitcoin payments. (en.bitcoin.it)
Founding and people
Cubits is commonly reported as founded in 2014, with founders named (across sources) as Julian Mautner, Tim Rehder, and Andreas Lehrbaum (and sometimes additional early principals, depending on the database). (en.bitcoin.it)
Operational shutdown / insolvency
Multiple sources state that Cubits ceased operations and entered insolvency/bankruptcy/administration in December 2018 (often tied to a major loss/fraud involving a payment processor). (en.bitcoin.it)
A 2018 news report explicitly references the company’s official X/Twitter handle @CubitsHQ when discussing the shutdown announcement. (koinbulteni.com)
Notes on the current cubits.com website content
The domain cubits.com currently presents as a content site with articles such as “How to Buy Bitcoin in 2021,” authored under names like “Adam Green,” and includes an “About Cubits” page that describes a Bitcoin platform and mission statement. (cubits.com)
However, this present-day website content does not, by itself, conclusively demonstrate that the site is the original operational platform that existed prior to the 2018 shutdown described in third-party sources. (In other words: the brand/history and the current domain’s content are not perfectly aligned in the available public snapshots.) (en.bitcoin.it)
