Shares of the Scottish brewery BrewDog are now available to investors for Bitcoin and almost a dozen other cryptocurrencies, according to a company press release earlier this week.
Sale of shares for cryptocurrencies started in the framework of the new investment round of the Equity for Punks campaign and will last until April of next year. In addition to Bitcoin, you can also purchase them for Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Ethereum, Litecoin, Omisego, Qtum, Augur, Ripple and 0x.
“For us, this is the natural next step. BrewDog was founded as an alternative to the status quo to challenge perception and revolutionize its industry. Developers, miners and users of cryptocurrency are no different from other people, and we want to link the old and new financial systems, ”the company said.
Equity for Punks began as a crowdfunding attempt by BrewDog to expand its presence in the market where industrial beer traditionally dominates. Currently, BrewDog owns about 114 thousand investors, and the company expects to significantly increase their number at the expense of cryptocurrency users.
In honor of the cryptocurrency, the company also creates a new beer called Cryptonite West Coast IPA. Investors who purchase shares in BrewDog using cryptocurrency are promised six packs of original craft beer.
It is noteworthy that in October 2018, the company celebrated the opening of its representative office in Canary Wharf in London by raffling bitcoin wallets.
Recall that last year, the American blockchain start-up Civic, together with the brewing company Anheuser-Busch, presented the world's first anonymous “crypto-machine for selling beer”, checking the age of the buyer.
