In a world where Coinbase alone holds more than 10% of all Bitcoin in existence, it's more important than ever for people to have the choice to be their own bank.
Companies and developers who want to give their customers the benefits of Bitcoin self-custody don’t have to build a fully secure wallet stack on their own.
We’re starting with two simple features for our API: View Balance and Deposit to Casa. View Balance allows you to view the balance in your Casa wallet from another app once you connect your wallet. Deposit to Casa allows you to click one button to send Bitcoin to your Casa wallet.
Casa API will launch this summer in a closed beta with a few special launch partners that showcase many different uses of the API:
  • Choice by Kingdom Trust
  • Swan Bitcoin
  • Hoseki

An article on this, from the BTC Times:
The funds will allow Casa to expand operations and devote more time and resources to building features that allow individuals to gain access to their funds by more secure means.

Nice raise!
The round was led by Acrew Capital, with participation from Positive Sum, Avon Ventures, Tioga Capital, Stillmark, Castle Island Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Naval Ravikant, Scott Belsky, Todd McKinnon and Freddy Kerrest of Okta, and others.
Naval has been sneaking into a lot of Bitcoin raises. He stood out to me on the Umbrel raise too.
Also cool to see Hoseki as one of the API partners.
