Bull Bitcoin grew out of the Canadian bitcoin services community around Pouliot and Satoshi Portal. The company emphasises bitcoin-only products, Interac and other local funding rails in Canada, and expansion into additional countries including Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Colombia, and Europe per company announcements.<ref name="home" />

On 28 April 2025 Bull Bitcoin migrated users to a rebuilt platform at app.bullbitcoin.com. The company said accounts and data transferred automatically and that existing services remained available on faster KYC, Interac funding, Lightning withdrawals, and related infrastructure after a multi-year rewrite.<ref name="plat">[https://bullbitcoin.com/blog/introducing-the-new-bull-bitcoin-platform Introducing the New Bull Bitcoin Platform (28 April 2025)]</ref>
