sealing a multi-year partnership with Austrian cryptocurrency company Bitpanda.
The deal, effective immediately, designates Bitpanda as the new platinum
partner and official crypto trading sponsor of the reigning German champions.

collaboration was officially unveiled at Bayern’s home ground, the Allianz
Arena, during their match against TSG Hoffenheim on January 12. Bitpanda will
be a prominent presence at all home matches throughout the duration of this partnership.

Bitpanda’s
Chief Executive, Eric Demuth, emphasized the shared values and winning
mentality that unite the football giants and the crypto platform, laying the
groundwork for a long-term and fruitful partnership. Demuth stated: “Bayern
Munich and Bitpanda are united by a strong winning mentality and the
expectation of themselves to get better every day. For us, these shared values
are the perfect basis for a long-term partnership.”

foray into sports sponsorships has seen similar successful deals with the
Italian Rugby Federation in 2023, covering the men’s Rugby World Cup, a
sponsorship deal with tennis’ Madrid Open in 2022, and a premium sponsorship of
the World Padel Tour in the same year.

remarkable year-on-year increase in profit. Earnings before taxes more than
tripled, soaring from €17.1 million to €54.5 million

the fitting nature of the partnership, commenting: “Bayern Munich are
record champions. Bitpanda is the market leader in Europe. Both together in
a partnership: That’s a good fit!”
