okee, crypto on @stripe is officially back!

- accept stablecoins from 150+ countries
- buyers pay in usdc (via ethereum, solana, polygon)
- you, as a usa business, receive usd
- works with checkout, elements, or payment intents (and soon subscriptions)

see a live demo: buy.stripe.com/14kaFo3hQ50sai…

we're rolling this out to hundreds of thousands of usa businesses today (then more countries).

check your dashboard to turn crypto on: dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payme…
note: when we said "coming this summer", we meant san francisco summer, which is ~october.
ah, and here's the docs page: docs.stripe.com/crypto/pay-wit…

I'm so excited to cross “File an 83(b)” off every founder's to-do list.

No printers. No pens. No post office. No missed deadlines. No worries. ⤵️

You start a company and your founder friends yell: “OMG FILE YOUR 83B!”

Why?

Imagine your startup grows to $100M as your shares vest (wahoo!) and you're now in the top income bracket—you could save *several million dollars* in personal income taxes.
How does an 83(b) work?

The US wants to encourage entrepreneurship, so the IRS lets you "elect" to pay tax on your unvested shares upfront (when the value is likely low), so then:

- You won't owe any income tax as shares vest
- You only owe capital gains tax later if you sell

Recently we made it possible for teenagers (13+) to start a US company from anywhere in the world using @stripe @atlas.

Already *50* teenagers have started a company. Here's a lil vignette of what the youth are up to (hint, it's awesome):
they're tackling climate change... 🌲

- eco-friendly vertical hydroponic hardware (Istanbul)
- marketplace for renewable energy devices (Delaware)
- breathable sneakers (Texas)
they're building with AI… 🤖

- pixel art game with generative art (Pennsylvania)
- chatbot tutor teaching science (Florida)
- photo app that smartly organizes albums (California)

subject: [changelog] @stripe @atlas

We’ve made a bunch of improvements to starting an internet company:

- Company name search
- Visual cap table
- Sign docs with one click
- ETAs
- Faster EINs
- Pre-filled 83(b)
- Free payments
- Perks
- More access
🔍 Company name search

Choosing your company name is fun! Using antiquated government sites to see if it’s taken… not fun.

Instantly see if your company name is available with our new built-in name checker.

(We've added more cool suffixes too, like "Society" or "Institute".)
🥧 Visualize your equity

Accurately model the impact of founder ownership and a custom equity pool with our interactive cap table builder (w/pie charts!).

No lawyer necessary to issue founder shares or create a pool. Manage your cap table with our partners @pulley or @cartainc.

I’m looking to hire the most hustling, specific, positive person, who can understand both people and systems — no specific background required. Your goal is to make it easier for our teams to bring Stripe to new countries.

You will materially increase the GDP of the internet.
You must have A++ attention to detail and be both friendly but exacting in terms of project management and technical thinking of how to help make the world’s financial systems integrate into our APIs and work with many domains inside and outside the building to unblock progress.
It’s still quite odd Stripe isn’t available in most countries... we get a lot of feedback on this! It’s a tricky set of things we must do this year — would love to hire someone to coordinate and systematized our country launch efforts from a product and technical perspective.

Hello world. A few reflections on my first year at Stripe and a bit on my first ten years building stuff.
I’ve joked that joining Stripe is my first rational career choice. 4 quick stories.
After school, I declined my MSFT internship return offer (but I could work on Excel!) to jobless-ly follow my girlfriend, now wife-y, to Washington, DC. I joined a non-war tech company (comScore), learned data at scale, hired my friends, and discovered how the internet works.
