Bits of Stock Wins Best in Show at FinovateSpring 2025!

We are thrilled to announce that Bits of Stock has been awarded Best in Show at FinovateSpring 2025 — one of the most respected fintech conferences in the U.S., showcasing the most innovative and impactful technology in financial services.

This recognition marks a major milestone for Bits of Stock and serves as a powerful validation of our mission: to democratize investing and build an ownership economy where wealth-building is simple, accessible, and rewarding for everyone.

What is Finovate?

Finovate is more than just a fintech conference — it’s the stage where the future of financial technology is unveiled. Industry leaders, investors, decision-makers, and startups from around the world gather to see live demos of the most groundbreaking financial products and platforms.

Being selected to demo at Finovate is an honor in itself. Winning Best in Show— as voted by the attendees — means our message resonated deeply with a community that truly understands the industry’s challenges, opportunities, and future direction.

Our Moment on the Stage

At the heart of this achievement was a standout presentation by our CEO, Arash Asady, who took the Finovate stage to bring our product, vision, and purpose to life. In just seven minutes, Arash demonstrated how Bits of Stock is reshaping the way people engage with financial markets through fractional investing and real-world rewards.

Our platform empowers consumers to earn stock from the brands they love and engage with their financial futures in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and fun. This is more than fintech innovation — it’s about behavioral change. It's about giving every individual a stake in the economy and helping them take the first steps toward financial ownership.

Why This Matters

Winning Best in Show is not just a trophy on our shelf. It represents growing validation of a movement: the shift to ownership. People are ready for a new relationship with their money — one where spending and investing go hand-in-hand.

Our team has spent years building a platform that blends reward, engagement, and education to make investing second nature. The recognition from Finovate underscores how urgent and timely this mission is.

This award tells us we’re on the right path — and we’re just getting started.

Thank You

To everyone who voted for us, thank you. To the Finovate team, thank you for creating a world-class platform for innovation and dialogue. To our amazing team at Bits of Stock — across product, engineering, partnerships, and beyond — this award belongs to all of you.

And most of all, thank you to our community of users and partners who believe in a world where ownership is for everyone, not just a few.
