Our purpose
Bitcoin Switzerland is an independent, nonprofit initiative making Switzerland’s Bitcoin landscape easier to discover. We bring businesses, professional services and community organizations together in one open directory.
Our focus is Bitcoin. Every entry has a Swiss connection and a role relevant to Bitcoin users or businesses. We list the Swiss presence of international organizations and the Bitcoin services of firms with a broader remit.
The directory contains 123 organizations and specialist services reviewed through public sources, plus 472 merchant locations from BTC Map and OpenStreetMap. Map dates are community verification dates. Merchant branches are counted as distinct locations. Confirm payment acceptance before visiting.
This is a community resource with a nonprofit purpose. It does not claim registered charitable or tax-exempt status. It is independent of the listed organizations and is not an official Swiss government service.
