A Spanish tech startup focused on digital privacy is making a significant move into the cryptocurrency space, leveraging a key partnership to enhance its service offerings and embrace the digital asset economy. This strategic step aims to meet evolving user demands while reinforcing the company's core principles.
Embracing Crypto Payments and Digital Sovereignty
Internxt, a Valencia-based startup specializing in privacy-centric cloud storage and communication solutions, has forged a strategic alliance with Bit2Me, a leading Spanish fintech authorized to provide crypto services under the EU's MiCA regulation. This collaboration will enable Internxt to accept payments in Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets for its services. This move directly addresses a growing user demand for solutions that offer enhanced privacy and digital sovereignty, aligning with Internxt's foundational principles. The partnership allows Internxt to follow in the footsteps of established international tech companies like ProtonMail and NordVPN, which have successfully integrated cryptocurrency payment options.
Building a Bitcoin Reserve and Driving Adoption
Beyond merely accepting digital payments, the alliance with Bit2Me will facilitate the secure custody of these cryptocurrency transactions, enabling Internxt to establish and manage its own strategic reserve of Bitcoin. Fran Villalba Segarra, CEO of Internxt, emphasized that this initiative reinforces the company's commitment to user privacy and digital sovereignty by providing secure payment and storage alternatives. Juan Luis Pascual, Bit2Me's B2B Director, highlighted that this collaboration signifies the increasing consolidation and mainstream adoption of Bitcoin across Spain and Europe, as innovative companies actively integrate digital asset solutions. This strategic move not only diversifies Internxt's payment options but also firmly positions it within the evolving landscape of digital finance and Web3.
