Amboss and Voltage Partner to Turn Bitcoin Payments Into a Source of Yield

Amboss Technologies and Voltage have partnered to introduce a new enterprise payment stack, aiming to redefine the way businesses handle Bitcoin and stablecoin transactions. According to a release shared with Bitcoin Magazine, this collaboration merges Voltage’s Lightning Payments API with Amboss Rails, facilitating instant, low-cost payments and enabling automated yield generation on self-custodied Bitcoin.

The partnership's primary goal is to transform payment processing — traditionally viewed as a cost center — into a potential revenue generator. In industries like iGaming, prediction markets, and exchanges, transaction fees can account for as much as 5% of total volume. Additionally, substantial Bitcoin or stablecoin holdings often remain idle, further adding to inefficiency.

The Amboss–Voltage integration tackles these inefficiencies head-on. Voltage's API provides near-instant, global Bitcoin and stablecoin transfers via the Lightning Network, while Amboss Rails dynamically manages liquidity. This allows businesses to optimize payment flows and earn yield by routing transactions across the network. In simpler terms, businesses can process payments instantly and affordably while converting idle balances into new revenue opportunities.

Amboss CEO Jesse Shrader commented on the collaboration, saying, “Payments have long been a drag on margins, but with this combination, we’re flipping the script.” He described Amboss Rails as a yield engine that attracts and optimizes capital, while Voltage’s Payments API simplifies Lightning adoption. Voltage CEO Graham Krizek added, “By generating self-custodial yield through Lightning, companies can turn idle Bitcoin into a productive asset that offsets custody costs while supporting real payment flow.”

A key innovation in this new payment stack is Voltage’s Taproot Assets support, which enables seamless, in-flight exchanges between Bitcoin and stablecoins within a single payment. This advancement provides businesses with the ability to integrate stablecoin payments without compromising on compliance or security, supported by Voltage’s SOC 2 Type II certification.

Early enterprise pilots in sectors like iGaming and financial platforms are already underway, with participants reporting up to 30% reductions in effective payment processing costs due to yield offsets. This early success highlights the efficiency and profitability of the integrated payment stack.

The innovations from this partnership lay the groundwork for machine-economy-ready infrastructure, where liquidity and payments autonomously interact across the Lightning Network. With Amboss' ML-powered routing (MP-Flow) and Voltage’s instant settlement API, businesses are positioned for scalable, global Bitcoin-native commerce. The collaboration emphasizes a growing trend in Bitcoin infrastructure, enabling businesses not just to move value but to also earn from its flow. This integration represents a significant step forward for enterprise payment ecosystems.
