Scottish self-storage company Storage Vault has become the first firm of its type in the UK to adopt Bitcoin as a form of payment.
By embracing the new digital revolution in money management, the firm is now offering its clients an opportunity to enhance their Storage Vault experience in an innovative and forward-thinking way.
With global entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk leading the charge on cryptocurrency adoption, innovative companies embracing the financial revolution are presently blazing a trail for others to follow.
Bitcoin, not controlled by any bank or government and regulated using encryption techniques, has been adopted by Storage Vault as a form of payment simply to offer customers more choice.
The firm also wants to be prepared for the future in which this form of currency will become commonplace.
John McGlynn, founder of Scottish Capital who owns Storage Vault, said: “I’m delighted to see the Storage Vault team being so forward thinking and following the lead of the great Elon Musk on this.
"I’ve been a fan and investor in Bitcoin for over 6 years now and I’ve seen it develop from being seen as a crazy concept to a serious global currency.
"We are the first self-storage and workspace business in the UK to accept Bitcoin, we may even be the first in the world."
CoVault, the flexible workspace division of the Storage Vault family, is also accepting Bitcoin payments.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
