Bitstamp is now part of RobinhoodAcquired, effective June 2025
Acquired by Robinhood Markets for $200 million (closed June 2, 2025) and rebranded "Bitstamp by Robinhood." As of 2026-09-10 Bitstamp USA, Inc. is winding down its US RETAIL business: retail customers are being invited in waves to move US dollars and supported crypto to the Robinhood app at no fee, and from February 1, 2027 a Bitstamp by Robinhood account can no longer open new positions (view, sell and withdraw remain). Institutional clients and non-US customers are not affected. For an estate, this creates a deadline: an executor who finds a Bitstamp account should act well before February 1, 2027. Start with Bitstamp support; claims may route to Robinhood's Estates process once the decedent had migrated.
Bitstamp has 5 accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. The right combination of beneficiary designations and trust ownership can keep the entire portfolio out of probate.
Bitstamp has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.
