Bitbucket was previously an independent startup company, founded by Jesper Nøhr in 2008.{{cite web|url=http://mercurial.808500.n3.nabble.com/Bitbucket-org-td798877.html|title=Bitbucket on Nabble|date=31 July 2008|access-date=31 August 2020|work=Nabble}}{{deadlink|date=December 2024}} On 29 September 2010, Bitbucket was acquired by Atlassian.{{cite web|url=https://www.itwire.com/it-industry-news/strategy/42202-atlassian-snatches-bitbucket|title=Atlassian snatches Bitbucket|date=30 September 2010|access-date=30 September 2010|author=Jenna Pitcher|work=ITWire|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303204710/http://www.itwire.com/it-industry-news/strategy/42202-atlassian-snatches-bitbucket|archive-date=2016-03-03}} In September 2015, Atlassian renamed their Stash product to Bitbucket Server.{{cite web|url=https://www.atlassian.com/software/bitbucket/server|title=Stash is now Bitbucket Server - Atlassian|last=Atlassian|website=Atlassian}} In July 2016, Bitbucket added support for Git Large File Storage (LFS).
