Bitcoin will literally go to the moon this year By BTC Peers – Investing.com

Astrobotic Technology, a U.S.-based commercial space company, will be delivering 1 in a hardware wallet to the surface of the moon later this year.

The Pittsburg-based space company contracts with NASA through its Commercial Lunar Payload Services. According to an announcement made on Friday at the Bitcoin 2021 Conference in Miami, the company will be sending its Peregrine lander to the moon in the fourth quarter of this year. The payload is expected to carry a single Bitcoin in a hardware wallet.

The initiative is a result of a deal between the space company and crypto exchange BitMEX. A website dedicated to the initiative claims that the launch will happen in November.
