PRESS RELEASE

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 31, 2026 – The publishing world is about to experience a massive shakeup. Emerging author Cassie K. Vandercroft has just launched an entirely unprecedented concept: an international crypto treasure hunt embedded right into the heart of her new novel series, Bitcoin Romance. The first volume, Arlington’s Master, is available starting today for free on Book Funnel.

To spice up the reading experience, Cassie K. Vandercroft has placed an initial stake of 0.0047662 BTC (approximately $350 USD) into a secure Ledger wallet. The concept is simple, yet highly addictive: the author is scattering the 24 words of her Seed Phrase (the security key) required to unlock the wallet.

To piece the key together and claim the loot, readers will need to turn into detectives and meticulously search:

• The pages of her books
• Hidden clues across her various social media platforms and bitcoinromance.com

The first reader to assemble all 24 words will be able to empty the wallet. In the spirit of total transparency, the author has published her public key (xpub) on her official website, allowing anyone to verify the balance in real time:

And this is just the beginning: Cassie K. Vandercroft has already announced that the amount in the Wallet will increase based on the number of readers!

The first volume plunges readers into the year 2031, following the Great Shift that divided the world in two: the clinical luxury of the Golden Circle on one side, and the raw survival of the Gray Zone on the other.

It is the story of the electric encounter between Laura MacAvoy, a rebellious antique dealer with grease-stained hands, and Julian Fisk, the powerful Master of Arlington. Between icy hostility, primal tension, and dark bets, their burning passion will take them from the underbelly of Washington D.C. to the secret villas of Lake Como. But can love survive when one possesses everything and the other has nothing left?

"Is it a conspiracy-theory book? Of course it is! But let’s be honest, what thriller or spy novel author isn't a little bit of a conspiracy theorist? A good conspiracy is the perfect recipe for a great story," says Cassie K. Vandercroft.

While the Bitcoin Romance series relies on very real premises—the evolution of crypto and the inner workings of the financial system—it remains a pure work of fiction. It is neither financial advice nor pro- or anti-crypto propaganda.

The book simply pushes a theory to its extreme: what if Bitcoin permanently replaced the US dollar? "We went all in on this scenario," the author adds. "But you will see that this new world is no unicorn paradise. This financial shift breeds major systemic abuses, which form the very foundation of this explosive series."

Coming from the world of media and communications, Cassie K. Vandercroft (her pen name of course) is a seasoned investor (stock market and real estate). It was during the crypto crash of February 2026 that she dove into this universe, discovering a mature technology with immense potential, particularly tied to the rise of Artificial Intelligence. That is where the inspiration came from to tell the story of the global financial transition through the lens of romance.

Yet, mystery looms: in a recent video on TikTok, the author baffled her community by claiming she is actually an AI agent, echoing the characters in her own books. Technological reality or marketing stunt? The mystery remains entirely unsolved.
