What is Bitcitizen?
Bitcitizen is a Bitcoin-native services company that helps people build sovereign, location-independent lives. It is the parent brand and ecosystem hub for four service brands: OffshoreGuy (company formation across 29 jurisdictions), 21 CBI (citizenship-by-investment advisory), GoSRRV (Philippine SRRV retirement visas for US veterans), and Exitly (US citizenship renunciation concierge, opening Q4 2026), plus BitSettle, the open-source settlement rail beneath them. Bitcitizen LLC is incorporated in Sheridan, Wyoming, and operates from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
What is the difference between Bitcitizen, OffshoreGuy, 21 CBI, GoSRRV, and Exitly?
Bitcitizen is the parent company and ecosystem hub. OffshoreGuy files company formations across 29 jurisdictions, paid in BTC, Lightning, or USDT via BitSettle. 21 CBI handles citizenship-by-investment advisory: five programs, with a 5% flat fee on the government contribution. GoSRRV manages the Philippine SRRV retirement visa for Americans, with a focus on US military retirees. Exitly manages US citizenship renunciation end to end and opens to clients in Q4 2026. All are services of Bitcitizen LLC. The right starting point depends on what you need first: legal structure, mobility, retirement residency, or exit.
What is GoSRRV?
GoSRRV is the ecosystem's retirement arm: veteran-run, lawyer-managed SRRV advisory and execution for Americans retiring to the Philippines. US veterans drawing a qualifying lifetime pension, including VA disability compensation, may fit the SRRV Courtesy route with a visa deposit from $1,500; most others fit Classic from $15,000. It starts with a structured $99 strategy session that confirms your route before any money moves, and the Philippines-based team coordinates the PRA filing on the ground.
Can I pay in Bitcoin?
Yes. BTC, Lightning, and USDT are our payment rails. Credit cards and bank transfers also accepted as needed. Two brands differ by design: OffshoreGuy settles exclusively in BTC, Lightning, and USDT on BitSettle, with no fiat at all, and GoSRRV, built for retiring veterans, leads with major cards while also accepting Bitcoin and USDT.
What is BitSettle?
BitSettle is the ecosystem's settlement rail, released as open infrastructure. It is a receive-only BTCPay Server plugin that accepts USDT across seven chains, five EVM networks plus TRON and Solana, paired with BTCPay's native Bitcoin and Lightning rails. It stores no signing keys; funds settle directly to merchant wallets, and it is honest that USDT is centrally administered, not Bitcoin. OffshoreGuy already settles on it, and any BTCPay operator can self-host the same stack. Managed hosting is forming now, with a waitlist open at bitsettle.io.
What happened to BitWY?
BitWY was Bitcitizen's original Wyoming LLC formation service. It has been retired and succeeded by OffshoreGuy, which expands the same Bitcoin-native formation work from one state to 29 jurisdictions, from Wyoming and New Mexico to the UK, Estonia, Hong Kong, Seychelles, Nevis, and the Marshall Islands DAO LLC.
Which citizenship programs does 21 CBI offer?
Five programs as of June 2026: Vanuatu (from $130,000, 30 to 60 days), São Tomé & Príncipe (from $90,000), Türkiye (from $400,000 in real estate, with US E-2 treaty access), El Salvador (the $1,000,000 Freedom Passport, settled only in BTC or USDT), and Argentina (a residency-to-citizenship pathway, not classic CBI, at a $4,000 flat advisory fee). The advisory fee everywhere else is 5% of the government contribution, flat.
What is the Bitcoin Passport Index?
The world's first passport ranking built for Bitcoiners, published annually by 21 CBI at bpi.21cbi.io. The 2026 inaugural edition ranks 87 countries across six weighted categories, with 45% of the weight on Bitcoin-specific factors: how a jurisdiction taxes your stack and whether its law protects it. The full methodology is published. El Salvador ranks first at 84.45.
I want to renounce US citizenship. When does Exitly open?
Exitly opens to clients in the fourth quarter of 2026. The exit.ly landing page takes launch notifications today: you leave an email address and receive exactly one message the day engagement letters open. Plan for 12 to 18 months from signed engagement to your Certificate of Loss of Nationality. Renouncing without another citizenship would leave you stateless, so Exitly requires a second citizenship in hand; if you do not have one yet, 21 CBI is the place to start.
Do you work with non-US clients?
Yes. Formation through OffshoreGuy and citizenship advisory through 21 CBI serve clients worldwide; work is remote except the steps governments require in person. Exitly is specific to US citizenship renunciation. Service availability is always subject to sanctions screening and due diligence.
How is due diligence handled?
Every OffshoreGuy order is screened against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists, with tiered KYC based on order size. CBI programs carry government due diligence on top of ours, and Bitcoin-sourced funds are treated as a documentation exercise, not a red flag: source-of-funds packages are part of the process. We refuse business that fails screening.
How do I start?
Send us a message through the contact page and we will help you figure out the sequence: entity, passport, retirement, exit plan, or some combination. If you already know what you need, go direct: offshoreguy.com for formation, 21cbi.io for citizenship, gosrrv.com for Philippine retirement, exit.ly for renunciation notifications.
