EDMONTON, Alberta, March 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Well Inc. (“Bitcoin Well”) (TSXV: BTCW), a technology company building and utilizing products that offer safe and easy ways to buy, sell and use Bitcoin, is pleased to announce that Unified MMA has joined the Bitcoin Well, Corporate Bitcoin Savings Plan (“BSP”). This will enable the organization to offer fighters the opportunity to take a portion of their fight purse in bitcoin. Shane Campbell, winner of the Unified 43 Super Lightweight Bout opted to receive a portion of his winnings in bitcoin, via the BSP.
“As the world begins to diversify, I’m looking forward to getting paid in different ways,” said Shane Campbell, Unified MMA Lightweight Champion.
The Bitcoin Well BSP provides employers and individuals the opportunity to take a portion of their pay in bitcoin on an incremental, ongoing basis. Through the BSP, employers have the option to add bitcoin directly into their pay structure. The program enrollment is simple and easy to set up, giving team members the opportunity to have a portion of their salary, or winnings, paid in bitcoin.
“Bitcoin Well is removing barriers for individuals and companies to use and receive bitcoin, just as easily as traditional financial instruments,” said Adam O’Brien, Founder and CEO of Bitcoin Well. “Bitcoin, by definition, meets the properties as sound money, so it’s rewarding to see Unified MMA athletes being given the option to take their pay in bitcoin. Congratulations to Shane Campbell, on an excellent performance and being the first Unified fighter to collect a portion of his purse in bitcoin at Unified 43.”
Bitcoin Well was a platinum sponsor for Unified 43 on March 4, 2022 at River Cree Resort & Casino in Enoch, Alberta, a suburb outside of Edmonton.
