Toronto, Ontario, January 9, 2014 – GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE: GBC) (“GreenBank” or “the Company”) announces that it will become the first public company in the world to accept Bitcoin in settlement for a private placement.
GreenBank’s subsidiaries, Bitcoin Angel Capital which will invest in early stage Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency focused companies, and Bitcoin Canada Investments which will invest exclusively in Bitcoin, are currently making a private placement to accredited investors of up to $5,000,000 Convertible Secured Debentures. GreenBank believes the Debentures represent a convenient way for investors to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of Bitcoin and early stage Bitcoin companies.
“GreenBank intends to be both a Bitcoin incubator and a Bitcoin investor, and so I think it is appropriate for us to accept Bitcoin in settlement for the Debenture private placement. As a digital cryptocurrency that is not issued by any government, bank or central organization, I believe Bitcoin will continue to find increasing acceptance and popularity worldwide, and I am pleased that GreenBank is in the forefront of that acceptance” said Danny Wettreich, CEO of GreenBank, Bitcoin Canada Investments and Bitcoin Angel Capital.
