It launched Venezuela’s first Bitcoin satellite node, the set up of Bitcoin ATMs, and the partnership with some leading markets in the country. Now Pizza Hut is on the list of firms that allow crypto, as a way to promote their capitals. Other Venezuelan organizations have also integrated BTC payments, one of them being
Venezuela’s largest chain of department stores Traki, which was the first to accept Venezuela’s official cryptocurrency -the Petro.
