"As a company we hadn't really considered it until we spoke to Zann Kwan from Bitcoin Exchange and she highlighted the many benefits of us as a company accepting bitcoins, especially as a number of our projects are overseas," Fan said.

Using the digital currency could also lead to expansion of the firm's international customer base, since they won't face any exchange rate.

Great to see a company doing their part to fill in the ecosystem.  Hopefully soon we'll get to an end-to-end solution where suppliers are also accepting bitcoin!
