MrBeast Promotes Step Following Acquisition
MrBeast, known for his promotional videos, has begun promoting Step, a financial technology app acquired by Beast Industries in February 2026. Step, which previously offered no active cryptocurrency trading service, has not yet reintroduced such services. The promotion includes a $5 signup code for new users who fund their accounts and make a first card purchase of at least $5 within 30 days. Step, which is not a bank, offers a Visa card, at least 1% cashback, and EarlyPay cash advances ranging from $20 to $250. The app also advertises 3% on savings, although the terms describe the payment as a promotional reward rather than interest. Step, founded in 2018, had previously discontinued its crypto trading service in May 2024, including access for minors with parental permission. The terms were updated on September 26, 2026, with a change to how certain rewards are described, but cryptocurrency references remain in the terms.
