Strike, a payments application utilizing the Bitcoin
blockchain, has launched its services in Europe, enabling customers in the
region to engage in buying, selling, and withdrawing bitcoin (BTC). The
announcement was made today (Wednesday).

Expanding Operations Across Continents

Having recently expanded its operations to Africa, Strike
has already established its presence in Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
However, availability may vary by country, and interested customers are
encouraged to check their local iOS or Android app stores for accessibility, as
some regions may be excluded from the expansion.

“As the third-largest economy globally … Europe presents
vast opportunities for bitcoin adoption,” Strike said in a press release.
“We’ve seen the demand and heard the feedback first-hand from the community.”

Introducing Bitcoin-Powered Payment Solution for European
Market

Developed by Chicago-based Zap Solutions under the
leadership of entrepreneur Jack Mallers, Strike was initially introduced in the
United States in 2020. Similar to widely used online payment platforms such as
Cash App or PayPal, Strike facilitates global money transfers for its users.
Notably, Strike distinguishes itself by leveraging the Bitcoin blockchain,
which enables swifter and more cost-effective transactions compared to
conventional alternatives.

In Europe, customers will have the convenience of conducting
BTC transactions directly with euro deposits via SEPA, the region’s payments
provider. Recipients of these funds will have the flexibility to opt for
receiving the value in either bitcoin, euro, or, in select areas, Tether’s USDT
stablecoin.
