Stockpile: How Families Invest

Investing in stocks, crypto, and other assets is now accessible to people of all ages through the Stockpile app. This app aims to educate and empower young investors by providing them with the tools and knowledge to make responsible long-term investment decisions. With Stockpile, families can invest together in a variety of assets such as stocks, ETFs, and crypto. Parents can supervise and approve each transaction, making it a worry-free experience. The app also offers hands-on learning opportunities for kids and teens to understand the stock market and financial literacy through monitoring and trading stocks and crypto. One of the unique features of Stockpile is the ability to buy, sell, or hold crypto. Users can select the cryptocurrency and the amount they want to invest, but it is important to note that crypto involves high risk and can be highly speculative. The execution of cryptocurrency trades and custody of cryptocurrencies are provided by Bakkt Crypto Solutions LLC. Stockpile also allows users to buy stocks or crypto with as little as $1, making it accessible for those with limited funds. This feature allows investors to build the portfolio they want with as little as they want. Additionally, the app offers the convenience of funding and checking out with a debit card, without the need to link a bank account. For those looking to give the gift of investing, Stockpile offers gift cards that can be redeemed for stocks or crypto. These gift cards can be purchased from the app's website without needing an account. It is important to note that Stockpile gift cards are not stocks, securities, or cryptocurrencies, and should not be seen as a recommendation to buy any specific asset. Securities are offered through Stockpile Investments, Inc., a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Cryptocurrency trading is offered through an account with Bakkt, which is not a registered broker-dealer or FINRA member. All investments, including stocks and crypto, involve risk and may result in loss of principal. The app also highlights the unique risks of electronic trading and encourages users to read the full list of disclosures on the Stockpile website. Securities in the account are protected up to $500,000, and for more details, users can visit www.sipc.org.
