A culture before a company.

Privacy. Anonymity.
Freedom of movement.

Arctic Bison builds infrastructure tools for operators who cannot afford to leave a trail. We build them. We use them.

Infrastructure Platform

Altostratus

Sovereign infrastructure management. Provision, monitor, and secure multi-cloud infrastructure across any jurisdiction — without revealing where your workloads live or who operates them.

  • No IP logs. No device records. No account linkage.
  • Anonymous accounts — handle and recovery key only.
  • Paid in Bitcoin, Lightning, or Monero.

Open Source · MIT

Rudis

Open-source crypto invoice processor. Accept Bitcoin, Lightning, and Monero payments without a third-party processor, a billing identity, or a subpoenable payment record. Self-host in ten minutes.

  • No KYC. No account. No metadata collection.
  • Three payment rails: Lightning, BTC on-chain, Monero.
  • Docker-based deploy. Full source on GitHub.

Privacy by architecture,
not policy.

Policy can be changed under legal pressure. Architecture cannot. Our products are designed to not generate the records most commonly sought in compulsion processes. You cannot subpoena what does not exist.

We use what
we build.

Altostratus runs its own subscription billing on Rudis. If you have ever paid for an Altostratus plan, you have already used Rudis. We do not build privacy tools and then use Stripe.

No sides.
No affiliations.

Privacy is a universal value. Arctic Bison takes no political positions and does not publicly identify clients or engagements. We serve operators who need the tools.

"Most privacy tools protect data in transit or at rest. Very few address the metadata problem: the records that exist not because your data was breached, but because you used the service at all."

— Arctic Bison founding principle
