Gold Dealer Sharps Pixley Begins Accepting BitcoinA well-known gold dealer based in London is now accepting bitcoin payments for its precious metal products.
The company, Sharps Pixley, announced on September 26 that it would begin accepting the cryptocurrency through a partnership with payments processor startup BitPay.
In statements, representatives from the firm framed the move as a way to offer wealthier clientele a way to invest in gold using their cryptocurrency holdings instead of fiat money.
"It is our view that many investors in bitcoin would like the option of holding intrinsic value in a traditional safe haven asset like gold, and be able to switch across in a simple and cost effective way. That avenue is now open to them," said Ross Norman, the firm's chief executive.
