Lolli Acquires Slice to Expand Bitcoin Rewards Across Browsing and Shopping
Bitcoin rewards platform Lolli, now a part of the Bitcoin-focused venture studio Thesis*, has acquired Slice, a browser extension that allows users to earn Bitcoin through passive browsing.
The acquisition merges two complementary approaches to earning Bitcoin — shopping and passive browsing — into a single platform, simplifying the user experience and broadening opportunities to “stack sats” across everyday online activity.
Founded in 2018, Lolli empowers users to earn free Bitcoin on purchases at over 50,000 top retailers and through 1,000+ mobile games. The platform has helped more than 600,000 users accumulate Bitcoin through intuitive, everyday experiences, according to a company release.
With the addition of Slice, Lolli now extends rewards to users’ web browsing, streaming, and online scrolling habits, creating a unified ecosystem where earning Bitcoin is seamless.
Slice, a browser extension designed to reward users for passive online activity, brings Lightning Network support for withdrawals built into its platform.
This integration accelerates Lolli’s adoption of the Layer 2 network, allowing faster, cheaper, and smaller Bitcoin withdrawals—an improvement that directly addresses user concerns about withdrawal friction and high minimums.
“Lightning makes small withdrawals economically viable in a way Layer-1 transactions never could,” the Lolli team said.
The merger also signals Thesis*’s continued focus on consolidating the Bitcoin rewards space. Thesis*, founded in 2014, is a pioneering venture studio dedicated to building Bitcoin-first solutions that empower individuals and communities.
Its portfolio includes Fold, Mezo, tBTC, Acre, and Taho. The acquisition of Slice marks Thesis*’s second major move in the Bitcoin rewards sector, following Lolli’s earlier integration, and reflects the company’s strategy to unify a previously fragmented market.
Matt Luongo, Founder and CEO of Thesis*, noted the strategic importance of the acquisition: “Together, Slice and Lolli will make it easier than ever for newly minted Bitcoiners to stack sats. Users already earning on Lolli will now be able to double down on their rewards potential simply by browsing online.”
Luongo also noted that Thesis* is systematically rebuilding Lolli’s app and infrastructure, starting with Layer 2 and sidechain integrations, and plans to expand onchain withdrawal options in the future.
From a user perspective, the acquisition ensures continuity: current Lolli users maintain their existing accounts and rewards, while Slice users continue earning Bitcoin through passive browsing.
Over time, the combined platform will integrate withdrawals through Mezo, Thesis*’s Bitcoin sidechain, and expand merchant partnerships to create a truly global Bitcoin rewards ecosystem.
As the Bitcoin rewards sector continues to grow, this acquisition underscores the broader trend of consolidation and product integration.
