Our Story
Digipesa began in 2014 as a pure Bitcoin investment and loans vehicle. As our curiosity and work evolved, so did the brand (the name was coined in 2016): from managing capital to explaining it, then to building a digital tech platform and, eventually, spinning up Thamani to apply those learnings with partners.
Digi for digital. pesa for money. The mission stays the same: make money make sense.
