Whitepaper · Version 5.0 · 24 August 2026
Astra Bitcoin
What ABTC is, what it is not, and every statement previously made that has been withdrawn. Written to be read in full, not skimmed.
1. The whole thing in one page
ABTC is a token on Ethereum, and that is the entire product. There are 2,250,000 of them. No more can ever be created, because the token contract has been renounced to the zero address and no mint function remains available to anyone, including Astra.
Holding ABTC gets you one thing: a balance recorded against an address you control, which you can transfer to another address. It is not a receipt, voucher, credit or claim. It does not entitle you to money, goods, electricity, services, votes, information or attention from Astra or from anyone else. Nobody is obliged to buy it back from you.
Astra does not classify ABTC under the law of any country. This document describes what the token does and does not do; you and your advisers reach your own conclusions under your own law. Its price, if any, is whatever third parties in the market are willing to pay, and Astra makes no statement about what that price is or may become.
The issuer and its founders carry on other commercial activities. None of them back ABTC, none are financed by the sale of ABTC, and none create any obligation, right or expectation for holders of ABTC. Section 7 sets this out. They are not a reason to acquire the token, and this document deliberately does not present them as one.
2. What ABTC is
ABTC is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum Mainnet. Holding it means an entry in the token contract's ledger attributing a balance to an address you control. Transferring it means changing that entry. There is no further function and no further meaning.
In this respect ABTC is comparable to Bitcoin and to other cryptocurrencies that carry no issuer obligation: the asset exists, it can be transferred, and it is worth whatever someone will pay for it at a given moment, which may be nothing.
2.1 What ABTC is not
- Not equity or a share
- No ownership of Astra or any other entity, in whole or in part.
- Not a dividend right
- No dividend, coupon, interest, yield or distribution, ever.
- Not a profit share
- No entitlement to any portion of revenue or profit from any activity.
- Not a governance right
- No vote, no consent right, no influence over any decision.
- Not a debt
- No loan, note or bond. Nobody owes the holder anything.
- Not a claim on assets
- No lien, charge or security interest over land, plant or revenue.
- Not redeemable
- No person is obliged to buy it back, redeem it or exchange it for anything.
- Not a deposit
- No deposit protection, insurance or compensation scheme applies.
3. Token and supply
- Name
- Astra Bitcoin
- Symbol
- ABTC
- Network
- Ethereum Mainnet, chain ID 1
- Standard
- ERC-20, 18 decimals
- Token contract
- 0x8C45bC48a451F48cca403ff2DDba2dA0EA68c404
- Total supply
- 2,250,000 ABTC, fixed
- Token contract owner
- 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 (renounced)
Because ownership of the token contract has been renounced to the zero address, there is no minting function available to anyone, no pause function, no blacklist, and no ability to alter balances or rules. This is verifiable on chain and does not rest on trust in Astra.
4. The sale contract
- Sale contract
- 0x7F4875c4a43daF0c31E411c6317C2ca265DDf8A0
- Verified source
- Published on Etherscan, Solidity 0.8.20
- Accepted assets
- ETH, USDT, USDC
- Price per ABTC
- 3.00 USD
- Minimum, ETH
- 0.001 ETH
- Minimum, stablecoin
- 1.00
- Delivery
- Same transaction, to the sending address
- Sale contract owner
- 0x25Ae070f39072aAB0a4c569099Cf020Ee617ba43 — NOT renounced
ETH is converted to USD using a Chainlink price feed at the time of the transaction, with a maximum accepted feed age of one hour.
The 3.00 USD figure is the price at which the contract currently sells tokens. It is a parameter of a sale, not a valuation, not an appraisal, and not a statement that ABTC is worth that amount or will be.
5. What Astra does not promise
Astra makes none of the following, and any document, post, video or message that appears to make them on Astra's behalf is unauthorised and should be disregarded:
- no listing price, target price, forecast, projection or expected value;
- no undertaking that ABTC will be listed on any exchange or trading venue, at any time;
- no buy back programme, and no commitment to purchase ABTC from anyone;
- no burn programme and no supply reduction mechanism of any kind;
- no market making, liquidity provision or price support;
- no revenue share, profit share, dividend or distribution;
- no guaranteed date for any event of any kind.
6. Check all of this yourself
Every factual claim in sections 3 and 4 is on a public blockchain and can be confirmed without asking Astra and without trusting this document. It takes a few minutes.
- Total supply is 2,250,000
- Open the token contract on Etherscan, Read Contract, call

7. The issuer
ABTC is issued by 3-102-960698 SRL, a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada registered with the National Registry of the Republic of Costa Rica, corporate ID 3-102-960698, registered 16 April 2026, with its registered office at Los Yoses, San Pedro, Montes de Oca, San Jose. The manager and legal representative is Dr. Antoun Toubia.
Registration of a company in Costa Rica is not a licence, authorisation or approval to offer a digital asset, and no such authorisation is held or claimed in Costa Rica or anywhere else.
This document does not describe those activities in detail, and does so deliberately. Earlier versions presented an energy project alongside the token in a way that invited readers to treat the project as backing for ABTC. It never was. Describing a real business next to a token that has no claim on it creates a false impression however carefully it is qualified, so the description has been removed rather than merely disclaimed.
8. Risks
The risk disclosure at www.astrabitcoin.com/risk/ is part of this document and must be read in full. In outline:
- Total loss. ABTC may become worth nothing. There is no floor, insurance, protection scheme or recourse.
- No market. No exchange listing is promised. Without a willing buyer you cannot realise any value at all.
- Volatility. Digital asset prices move sharply in both directions without warning.
- Contract risk. The sale contract is not renounced and its owner holds the powers described in section 4, including a manual price override.
- Irreversibility. Transactions cannot be reversed. Assets sent from an exchange account or to a wrong address are permanently lost.
- Regulatory change. Law may restrict holding, transfer or trading of digital assets in your jurisdiction.
- Cross border enforcement. The issuer is registered in Costa Rica; pursuing any claim across borders may be slow, costly or impractical.
9. Eligibility and restrictions
ABTC is not offered, and must not be acquired by, any of the following:
- United States persons, and persons located or resident in the United States or its territories;
- persons located or resident in, or nationals of, comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions;
- persons on any applicable sanctions or restricted party list;
- persons in any jurisdiction where acquiring or holding ABTC would require a licence, registration, prospectus or authorisation that Astra does not hold, or would otherwise be unlawful.
You are solely responsible for determining whether your acquisition, holding or disposal of ABTC is lawful where you are. Registration of the company in Costa Rica does not authorise the offer of ABTC in any other country, and no such authorisation is claimed.
10. Changes from earlier versions
Earlier published material about ABTC contained statements that are withdrawn. They are listed here so that holders of older documents can see precisely what changed and why, rather than finding the claims quietly absent.
- "Planned listing price 10.00 USD"
- Withdrawn. No listing price is stated and no listing is promised.
- "50% of net operating profit"
- Withdrawn. No profit share, dividend or distribution of any kind exists.
- "Buy back and burn" funded by energy profit
- Withdrawn. There is no buy back and no burn programme.
- Supply "shrinking toward 1,000,000"
- Withdrawn. Supply is fixed at 2,250,000 and does not reduce.
- "21x rarer than Bitcoin"
- Withdrawn. Scarcity framing is removed; it implied a valuation comparison that was never justified.
- "The presale funds the build"
- Withdrawn and corrected. Token sales do not fund the project, which is founder funded.
- "Governance and utility token"
- Withdrawn. ABTC carries no governance right and no utility function.
- "ABTC is not a security"
- Withdrawn as a self characterisation. Astra does not classify its own token; it describes what the token does and does not do, and buyers and their advisers draw their own conclusions under their own law.
- Electricity credit and bill redemption
- Withdrawn. An intermediate version described ABTC as redeemable against electricity bills. That created an issuer obligation and is removed. ABTC is redeemable for nothing.
