So, what is stacking?

Stacking sats is the habit of regularly buying small amounts of bitcoin — tiny pieces called satoshis (or “sats” for short).

Think of it like setting money aside, but instead of dollars, you’re slowly building your own stash of bitcoin. It’s a simple, stress-free way to start building digital wealth, one tiny piece at a time. 

With just a few dollars, anyone can stack, making it one of the easiest and most accessible ways to take control of your financial future. You don’t need to be a trader or time the market. You don’t even need to understand everything about crypto (yet). A bit of consistency makes stacking effortless and easy.

💡
Did you know: With the Shakepay Card, you earn bitcoin instantly every time you spend. And unlike points that just sit there, your sats may grow in value over time. It’s like cashback, but built for the future.

Over time, those small buys can really add up! And with Shakepay, stacking through those small buys is effortless.

Real stories from real Canadians

Bitcoin isn’t just for the early adopters anymore — it’s for anyone ready to start.

Here’s how Canadians are turning everyday moments into bitcoin wins—often without even noticing.”

The newbie

When this Shaker first downloaded Shakepay, they weren’t trying to time the market or make a big investment—they just started stacking in the background.

A few cents here from Round Up, some sats from cashback, daily shakes, and a few squad invites later…they’ve quietly stacked over 200,000 sats. All in under a year.*

Every coffee, every shake, every purchase became part of something bigger.

Shaking since 2020

While navigating the loss of their mother-in-law, this Shaker found themselves hit with another curveball: unexpected car repairs.

They didn’t plan for this moment. But because they’d been stacking over time — and using Shakepay for everyday purchases — it turned into something powerful.

What started as a stressful repair turned into a $3,100 bitcoin reward (as of June, 2025). That’s the quiet strength of stacking: showing up consistently, even when life doesn’t go as planned. 

Getting Shakepaid

What felt like a regular $45 purchase in 2021 turned into something much bigger.

Or this Shaker who received a small bonus in bitcoin for their payday:

No big investment. No market timing. Just everyday habits, like spending or depositing a paycheque, rewarded in bitcoin and left to grow.

Why now is the perfect time to start stacking

Bitcoin has weathered a decade of economic shifts - and comes out stronger every time. It's no longer just a fringe asset for tech enthusiasts or early adopters.

Take bitcoin’s price: it’s risen nearly 240% over the past three years, even as rising rates and the implosions of several big tokens and exchanges chilled the crypto market.

And while it might seem pricey right now (at ~$150,000 a pop), many analysts are predicting bitcoin’s price to potentially climb to $500,000 by 2028. 

That kind of long-term potential is why more people are getting off the sidelines and starting to stack. Even that five dollar coffee you buy with your Shakepay Card could put you in a stronger position tomorrow. Because when it comes to building digital wealth, starting early can make all the difference.

Community of stackers

A community of 1.5 million Canadians are stacking sats together, learning from one another, and sharing their successes. And those real-life stories show that anyone, no matter when they start, can use Shakepay to stack sats and build their wealth.
