Bitprop

Bitprop was founded in 2019 out of the conviction
that, in addition to making people more independ-
ent, good entrepreneurship can contribute to
sustainable, long-term solutions. Bitprop helps land-
owners turn their properties into income-generating
assets of long-term value. Property owners lease
part of their land, and Bitprop provides investment
to build rental apartments. By sharing rental income
for a set period, the partnership provides an immedi-
ate stable income that benefits the property owner
and their family for many years to come.
