Your CFO is not your CTO, and in web3, confusing the two can cost you.

After scaling Squads into the leading multisig on Solana (securing $12B+ in digital assets), Stepan noticed something surprising: teams were using multisigs as their business bank account.

Self-custody? Yes

Operational efficiency? Not quite.

And that gap led to Altitude.

Altitude is a stablecoin-native finance platform combining payments (ACH, Wire, SEPA), treasury yield, AR/AP workflows, and soon corporate cards, giving companies global access without relying on a traditional bank.
