Kartoon Studios launches “Bitcoin Brigade: Adventures in Satoshi City,” a groundbreaking new property that is far more than an animated series. This project is the centerpiece of a fully-integrated business model spanning content, digital education, merchandise, interactive apps, and a pioneering Bitcoin treasury strategy — designed to position Kartoon Studios as a trailblazer at the intersection of kids’ entertainment and blockchain innovation. The series is scheduled to debut in fall 2026 on Kartoon Channel!
“Bitcoin Brigade invites audiences into Satoshi City, a dazzling, digital realm where a diverse group of brave, brilliant kids discover a secret portal—the Bitcoin Bridge—that connects their world to this decentralized metropolis,” stated Andy Heyward, Chairman & CEO of Kartoon Studios. “Produced in a dynamic anime style featuring vibrant visuals and an immersive, music-driven experience enhanced by original K-POP music, the series blends thrilling action with educational themes.”
Heyward added: “Years ago, I produced and created the animated series of both Super Mario Brothers for Nintendo, and Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega. Those successes helped launch the Nintendo and Sega game platforms. We believe ‘Bitcoin Brigade’ will have an equally revolutionary impact on the next level of entertainment, education, and gaming powered by blockchain technology.”
Kartoon Studios is proud to be partnering with Bitkern, a leading Bitcoin mining company headquartered in Switzerland with roots in Austria and mining facilities around the world. Working closely with its Co-Founder, Patrick Stich, Bitkern will play a key role in guiding both the series and its global launch strategy. “Bitcoin is more than just a technology—it’s a movement that’s redefining how we think about money, ownership, and innovation. By collaborating with Kartoon Studios on Bitcoin Brigade, we’re creating an exciting way for kids to learn these ideas early and carry them into the future,” said Stich.
Kartoon Studios is building a comprehensive, Bitcoin-native business platform, The Satoshi Sparks Rewards System, around the series that invites kids to earn Sparks by watching episodes, completing quizzes, and solving cryptographic challenges in companion apps. Sparks act as a digital currency redeemable in a Bitcoin-only marketplace for exclusive merchandise, bonus content, and educational collectibles. The company will also launch a global licensing program featuring toys, apparel, and interactive collectibles embedded with Lightning Network-enabled NFC chips, designed to teach children about wallet custody, cold storage, and the immutable Bitcoin ledger. An interactive mobile app will feature secure, kid-friendly Lightning wallets for earning, storing, and spending Sparks, with parental controls and donation options to encourage responsible Bitcoin custodianship.
The series will be available on Kartoon Channel, YouTube Kids, and global broadcasters, ensuring wide accessibility and engagement. “Bitcoin Brigade” traverses both entertainment and business, and Kartoon Studios has assembled a multi-disciplinary leadership team to guide the series and its monetization, led by the Company’s CFO Brian Parisi. Parisi will oversee the financial and treasury strategies, working closely with the consumer products division, ensuring that both the creative and commercial sides of the venture align seamlessly for maximum impact.
