The Leeds company paying a global workforce with Bitcoin

In response to increased worldwide awareness of the rising value and potential applications of cryptocurrencies, one Leeds-based company is leading the way in offering Bitcoin payments to members of its global workforce.

Victvs is a global company providing business support services in over 100 countries.

With a global network of over 1000 people, managing international payments to so many countries can be very difficult, the company says.

Victvs sees Bitcoin as a welcome additional option through which to pay its global network and from December 1, began offering its members the option of receiving payment in the cryptocurrency.

Victvs CEO and founder Ben Clayson believes that Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies hold exciting potential for his global workforce.

He says: “As the connected global workplace evolves, new tools and technologies like Bitcoin are being created to provide people with greater individual control over resources including finance.  We believe that cryptocurrency payments will have real benefits for the members of our global network and we expect to see developments in Blockchain technology having a profound effect on our industry in the near future.”

While the legislation surrounding cryptocurrencies is still unclear in many countries, Bitcoin and others including Ethereum and Monero are gaining in popularity all over the world.

Contrary to popular belief, payments made in Bitcoin are not anonymous and the funds can be exchanged for material goods, with everything from sushi to properties now being offered with a Bitcoin price.
