Breez Reports 14-Fold Increase in Bitcoin Integration Demand

Breez, a Bitcoin software company, reported a surge in demand for its developer tools following the mainstream adoption of AI coding agents, with partnership inquiries increasing approximately 14-fold. This rise is attributed to the launch of Anthropic's Claude Code, which became generally available in May 2025 after a research preview in February. Prior to 2025, Breez noted that most inquiries came from bitcoin enthusiasts, crypto developers, and fintech firms treating bitcoin as an asset. Since the introduction of Claude Code, many inquiries have come from developers with little or no bitcoin experience, including fitness apps, messaging platforms, and a mushroom-identification app. Breez highlighted that developers favor bitcoin for its speed, as traditional payment setups can take weeks or months, while its SDK can be operational in minutes. An increasing number of inquiries are now from software agents rather than individuals, as these agents can set up payments globally without needing a bank account or undergoing onboarding checks. Breez emphasized that bitcoin's permissionless nature attracts agents, allowing them to build apps and facilitate payments without regulatory hurdles. The company stated that its latest SDK, based on the Bitcoin scaling protocol Spark, effectively managed the increased volume of requests. Breez likened this shift to Marc Andreessen's 2011 assertion that software is consuming the world, suggesting that AI is now consuming software.
