Why We Built AstraBit
One of our co-founders experienced a significant loss on a platform that failed to offer even basic accountability or support. That moment exposed a harsh truth. There was no reliable, integrity based infrastructure for serious crypto traders.
So we built one.
AstraBit was created to bring accountability, structure, clarity, and integrity to a space that too often lacks all four. We are U.S.-based, operate within regulatory frameworks, and are designed for users seeking tools beyond hype and guesswork. You deserve tools that are transparent, data-driven, and support more informed decision-making.
“At AstraBit, we believe the future of finance belongs to those who are willing to be held accountable”

Not all AstraBit services are broker-dealer services or regulated by the SEC or FINRA. Only services we explicitly identify as regulated should be considered as such.
Transparent and Engaged
Everyone here is named. Leadership, developers, compliance, legal — all of us on this page, with public profiles and personal bios. That carries into how we operate: when a release ships, when something breaks, when the platform goes down for a stretch, we say so in the community rather than waiting to be asked.

U.S. Veteran Owned Business
Two of our co-founders are military veterans. It comes up more than you might expect — people write in to tell us it factored into why they chose AstraBit, and that means something to us.
Service leaves you with a particular set of habits. Say what you are going to do. Do it. Answer for it when it goes wrong. That is the standard we hold this company to, and a large part of why AstraBit exists at all.

Robust Security & KYC, AML Adherence
Security is handled at the platform level, not bolted onto one feature. We maintain PCI DSS compliance and a SOC 2 audit covering our systems and controls, and account onboarding follows KYC and AML procedures. On the trading side specifically, exchange connections use API keys with withdrawal permissions disabled — AstraBit can place trades, never move your funds.

Is my activity on AstraBit protected by SIPC?
Not necessarily. SIPC protection applies to certain securities accounts and does not extend to most digital asset activity. Digital assets may not be covered by SIPC or FDIC protections and may be subject to limited or evolving regulatory oversight.
If coverage matters to your decision, review our full disclosures before you trade.
Who is behind AstraBit?
A veteran-owned and operated team, and you can see every one of us. AstraBit started because one of our co-founders lost money on a platform with nobody behind it: no accountability, no support, no way to reach a person. So we built the opposite. Our founders, executives, developers, compliance team, and advisory board are all on this page with their faces and their LinkedIn profiles. Our legal counsel comes from Fox Rothschild LLP and Thompson Hine LLP. Before you connect an exchange account to a platform, you should be able to see who runs it.
Where is AstraBit based?
CPT Capital, LLC is headquartered at 919 N. Market Street, Suite 425, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. We are a U.S.-based business operating under U.S. regulatory frameworks.
Does AstraBit give financial advice or recommend strategies?
No. AstraBit provides tools and infrastructure, not advice. We do not recommend specific strategies, assets, or trades, and nothing on this site is a personalized recommendation. Strategies available through the marketplace are built by independent third parties. We strongly recommend consulting a licensed, independent financial, legal, and tax advisor before making financial decisions.
