SatoshiPay raises €640k in venture funding
According to statements from Blue Star, SatoshiPay is in the midst of completing a €1m funding round that, if successful, will value the startup at a reported €6m. The startup later said it expects to close the round this week. The funding comes more than a year after the firm raised €160k, and months after it unveiled a new micropayments project with Visa Europe that connected the card issuer’s infrastructure with a SatoshiPay wallet. Blue Star’s portfolio, according to materials published in November, is largely focused on digital media and services, including a biometrics-oriented payments startup called Sthaler. "We are delighted to be investing in SatoshiPay. We believe the market opportunity for SatoshiPay is potentially vast and we look forward to working with SatoshiPay's management to help maximise this opportunity," Tony Fabrizi, Blue Star CEO, said in a statement.
