The Houston Texans have finally achieved a “first” in the Greg Grissom era.
The Texans announced Tuesday they are partnering with Houston-based crypocurrency company BitWallet to have them become the official digital currency wallet of the team.
Texans fans will have an opportunity to purchase single-game suites with cryptocurrency, using BitWallet as the intermediary. The Texans are now the first team in the NFL that has sold a suite through digital currency.
Houston-based full-service digital marketing agency EWR Digital was the purchaser of the suite.
“We are proud to partner with BitWallet to offer an exciting option for our fans who are looking to enjoy Texans game day in one of our suites,” Texans president Greg Grissom said. “BitWallet is a perfect collaborator as we continue our efforts to move our organization forward in new and innovative ways.”
BitWallet CEO John T. Perrone says that he is “honored” that BitWallet is the first to offer such a service for Texans fans.
“Digital currency has become a primary means of payment and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL,” Perrone said.
The partnership goes into effect immediately. For more information, visit www.bitwallet.org.
