    Pizza Hut Now Accepts Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies in Venezuela

    Author: Felix Mollen

    Last Updated Nov 30, 2020 @ 02:39

    Now Venezuelans can use their Bitcoin in Pizza Hut thanks to a partnership with Cryptobuyer… Is this Venezuela’s own Bitcoin Pizza Day?

    An endless number of economic sanctions imposed by the United States and an endless number of bad policies imposed by the Venezuelan government have led to an increasing love for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the latin american nation. This week, Pizza Hut, one of the oldest pizza chains in the country began to accept Bitcoin and other digital currencies as payment.

    On November 27, 2020, Pizza Hut’s customers began to have the option to pay for their orders with cryptocurrency. This would be the first time ever that the well-known franchise accepts any kind of crypto, anywhere in the world.

    Venezuela’s First “Cryto Pizza”

    Pizza Hut’s move was possible thanks to a partnership with the Latin American crypto payments processor, Crypto Buyer. This startup has been one of the most active businesses in terms of promoting cryptocurrencies in that nation, with achievements such as the launch of its first Bitcoin satellite node, the installation of Bitcoin ATMs, and the collaboration with several famous retailers in the country.

    Thanks to Crypto Buyer, Pizza Hut would be joining a growing list of companies that accept cryptocurrencies as a way to boost their finances. Other Venezuelan corporations have also embarked on the Bitcoin train. The most emblematic case is Traki, Venezuela’s largest department store, which not only created an exclusive division for cryptocurrencies but was the first big store to accept Venezuela’s official cryptocurrency -the Petro- and the first big store to accept cryptocurrencies.

    Other stores that joined the country’s crypto fever are Burger King, the Intercontinental and Tamanaco Hotel chains, the Venezuelan gas stations that accept payments in Petro, the Excelsior Gama supermarket chain and Farmarato pharmacies, among others.

    Venezuelans Asked, Pizza Hut Delivered

    It seems Venezuelans were asking for Bitcoin —or at least for some sort of innovation— and Pizza Hut was eager to listen. Richard ElKhouri, General Director for Venezuelan operations, told local news site “El Axioma” that the franchise was looking to evolve and go at the same pace as technological innovations:

    Thanks to our consumers, to the suggestions they offer us and to the direct contact we have with them, we have made alliances with Delivery, with large companies like Coca-Cola and today we are handling alliances with Cryptobuyer as a payment option for the customer, incorporating platforms and their technological advice

    The partnership with Cryptobuyer will allow Pizza Hut to accept BTC, ETH, DASH, LTC, BNB, USDT, BUSD, DAI, and Cryptobuyer’s native token XPT. Moreover, this is not an isolated experiment as the decision is effective in all Pizza Hut locations in Caracas, Maracay, Maracaibo, and Barquisimeto.

    The Venezuelan crypto community was pleased with Pizza Hut’s move and started spending their tokens almost as soon as the news broke. One example was Mariangel García, Community Manager of Binance Latam, who bought her Pizza with, of course, BUSD.


    And you know what is the best of all? Those pizzas won’t cost  you 10,000 BTC.
