Client snapshot
Bitizenship guides Bitcoin-first investors through residency and citizenship by investment. Its programmes include a Portugal route through a Golden Visa-eligible Bitcoin fund, with a five-year path to EU citizenship, and an Italy investor programme.
The challenge
Bitizenship's buyers are investors weighing second residency and citizenship, and they ask AI assistants detailed questions: how to get EU residency with Bitcoin, which golden visa funds accept it, how to reach Italian citizenship. When AtomicAGI tracking began on April 30, 2026, ChatGPT and Gemini showed Bitizenship in 0% of those answers.
What Austin did
Austin has run an AEO and SEO engagement for Bitizenship since early April 2026. The pages earning the most traffic are investor-question guides, such as the easiest country to buy a house in Europe and European countries with digital nomad visas.
