Bitcoin Billionaire: what the trading robot scheme was and how it worked

Bitcoin Billionaire was not a real trading app. It was a lead funnel: the form collected your name, email address and phone number, and its consent text said they would go to third parties, described first as "trading services" and later as "data brokers and intermediaries". It ran on bitcoin-billionaire.com from July 2020 to at least March 2026. The domain then dropped and was registered again on 23 October 2026 by a new owner with no link to the old operators. This site has no app, no sign-up and no trading. The idle game of the same name on Google Play and the App Store is unrelated. For more, read the full history of this domain.

What Bitcoin Billionaire promised

The archived 2020 homepage asked, "Earn $6,325 daily with Bitcoin Billionaire?" It said a $250 deposit "will then be turned into millions". These are the scheme's own claims, and we repeat them only as quotes.

The page also showed quotes under the heading "Famous names in trading", attributed to 50 Cent, Steve Jobs, John McAfee, Richard Branson and Warren Buffett. It said all of them had "made huge profits with Bitcoin Billionaire" and displayed the logos of the BBC, CNN, Fox News and Forbes. Nothing on the page shows that any of these people or outlets gave permission. The site's own small print said the opposite: "All characters, information and events depicted on This Website are entirely fictitious."

The numbers contradicted each other as well. The homepage claimed "1000 members worldwide" and said 50 new members were invited each year. Yet the earnings disclaimer page captured in July 2020 showed a counter reading "Number # 23 OF 30 LIMITED PLACES" next to a registration countdown. The same page admitted that "there is no guarantee that you will earn any money".

How the Bitcoin Billionaire funnel actually worked

Your details were the product

The 2020 page offered three steps: watch the video, fill in the form to create a free account, and "receive your free phone call from an expert". The archived pages show no robot or trading software, only a form and the promise of a phone call.

By May 2022 the form said your details would be shared "with third parties providing trading services", including "nonaffiliated business partners in the cryptocurrency field". From 2023 the consent text named "investment education firms, data brokers and intermediaries" as the recipients of your name, email and phone number.

The pitch changed, the funnel did not

The wording moved from trading robot to education to AI, while every version we checked was built around the same kind of sign-up form. The March 2026 capture is the last Wayback Machine capture of the funnel.

It told US visitors to stay away

The 2022 page carried a notice that it is against US law to solicit US persons to buy and sell commodity options unless they trade on a CFTC-registered exchange. It also stated that "around 70 percent of the investors will lose money". From 2024 the page called itself "Accessible Worldwide, Excluding the USA", and the 2026 version still said it "excludes the USA".

By its own wording, the service was not offered to US residents. Our November 2026 search found no FCA, SEC or CFTC warning that names Bitcoin Billionaire. A missing warning does not make a scheme legitimate, so the evidence on this page is the scheme's own archived pages.

The same brand with deepfakes in Spain

In December 2024 the Spanish public broadcaster's fact-checking unit, VerificaRTVE, reported a fake RTVE page that used a deepfake of presenter Lluís Guilera to promote "Bitcoin Millonario / Bitcoin Billionaire". It promised 35,000 euros a month from a 250 euro deposit and added an invented endorsement from Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. The platform was not authorized to operate in Spain.

Why trading robots like this cannot deliver

In January 2024 the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) warned that fraudsters exploit interest in artificial intelligence to sell trading bots promising "unreasonably high or guaranteed returns". Its advisory states that AI technology "can't predict the future or sudden market changes". It lists claims of returns of "tens of thousands of percent" and 100 percent "win" rates as red flags. In one case the CFTC cites, Mirror Trading International, a bot scheme took more than $1.7 billion in bitcoin from at least 23,000 people.

The CFTC also suggests simple checks: look up the age of the domain registration at lookup.icann.org, run a reverse image search on the people shown, and get a second opinion. Apply them here. The "Bitcoin Billionaire" domain was a small crypto news blog in 2015 and showed only a "ChainReactor Technologies Inc." placeholder in 2018 and 2019. It became a robot sales page in 2020, so the domain had no history as a trading business. The celebrity quotes fail an even simpler check: the site's own small print called its testimonials fictitious. See our list of other fake trading robots.

What to do if you signed up or paid

If you only left your details and paid nothing, expect calls and messages. Do not pay anything, never share a seed phrase, private key or one-time code, and never install remote-access software when a caller asks. If you paid, follow these steps.

1. Stop paying. In crypto investment scams, the FBI reports that victims who try to withdraw are charged "taxes and fees" before the scammers disappear.
2. Keep records of every payment, call, email and message, including account numbers and wallet addresses.
3. Tell your bank or card issuer at once and ask whether the payment can be disputed.
4. Refuse any offer to get your money back for an upfront fee. Victims are often targeted next by recovery scams.
5. Report it, as described below.

Where to report in the US

File a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov "regardless of the amount lost", and include the full transaction details. The FBI says IC3 may be able to help banks and police freeze funds. In its 2025 report, cryptocurrency investment fraud was the largest source of reported losses to Americans, at $7.2 billion. You can also report to the CFTC.

Where to report in the UK

Use Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk or call 0300 123 2040. Report Fraud is run by the City of London Police and replaced Action Fraud on 4 December 2025. It serves England, Wales and Northern Ireland. If you live in Scotland, report to Police Scotland.
