Company:BTCX
BTCX, an abbreviation for ”Bitcoin Exchange”, is a Swedish service for the exchange of virtual currencies, with Bitcoin being the most popular[citation needed]. The service is owned and run by the Swedish company Goobit AB. Goobit was founded in autumn 2011 by Christian Ander and started operations with the brand BTCX in January 2012. It was then the first service of its kind in the world[citation needed], Sweden's first Bitcoin company[citation needed] and the second in Europe after the Slovenian Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp. BTCX launched Sweden's first point-of-sale payment service for Bitcoin December 2013. Dragon's Lair, a board games store, was the first user/client, which then also became the first company in Stockholm to accept bitcoin over the counter.[1] BTCX also has a digital wallet service for Bitcoin on Android phones and on its platform on the web, BT.CX.
Today there are two services from BTCX available in Sweden; btcx.se and bt.cx. The latter is also available in the entire EU with direct payment services available in Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Austria[citation needed].
The Company is domiciled and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
In May 2016 BTCX announced a cooperation with the NGO Water Aid where Water Aid got help setting up a bitcoin wallet and signed an agreement with BTCX to exchange bitcoins collected to Swedish crowns at zero fee[2]
