Greenbits generates revenue through a structured transaction model that primarily involves business-to-business (B2B) partnerships with cannabis retailers and brands. These partnerships often include subscription-based pricing for access to the various software solutions offered by the company, including its flagship POS system and eCommerce platforms. Clients typically pay a recurring fee based on the size of their operations and the specific services utilized, which may include features like the Dutchie Hub and integrations with other service providers. The company processes significant transaction volumes annually, with cannabis sales processed through its platform amounting to USD 19 bn.

This transaction structure supports a scalable revenue model that adapts to the growth of its clients, ensuring that as businesses expand their product lines or open new locations, Greenbits can accommodate these changes seamlessly. Green Bits, Inc. aims to leverage its recent Series B funding of USD 23 mn to enhance its product offerings and expand into new markets. The company is actively designing new features to their existing platform and plans to roll out these enhancements by the end of 2021.

Additionally, Green Bits intends to penetrate more regions within North America, targeting states such as Massachusetts and Illinois by 2022. The funding will support these initiatives, enabling the company to invest in product development and market expansion strategies.
