On august 30th 2016, we’ve sent a bitcoin to the stratosphere (34km altitude) and made the first peer-to-peer transaction in space! Big Thanks goes to our team and all our great customers for making this possible! Onwards to the moon!
You can check out the transaction on the bitcoin Blockchain, which was sent at about 33.406 meters:
