Tesla And Other Cars Sold For Bitcoin
The biggest Bitcoin car sale in European history was made on January 18th.
This happened thanks to the Auto Outlet Helsinki Oy who sold a Tesla Model S P85+ for an amount in
bitcoin equivalent to €140.000.
“We managed to do this first transaction and saw how it works, so we will now definitely start promoting it. Several
other requests have been already towards us. And we have a great staff who are not suspicious on new
innovations”, said Auto Outlet CEO Jukka Sinisalo.
In fact, thanks to the BitcoinKaupat company this auto store decided to accept bitcoin among its methods of
payment. A correspondent of CoinTelegraph contacted the CEO of BitcoinKaupat to get details.
Aleksi Vitakoski, CEO at BitcoinKaupat said:
“In Finland it has been possible to pay for large range of services with Bitcoin over a year now.
Bitcoin payments havr been continuously growing and we have noticed that the Finnishmedia writes

2. about our new merchants or bitcoin ATMs constantly. This of course increases the number of bitcoin
users and many want to know and try what bitcoin is. This all can be done comprehensively in
Finland and especially in Helsinki where you can survive by only using bitcoin.”
BitcoinKaupat is a payment service that allows merchants to accept bitcoin payments throughBitPay.
“BitcoinKaupat is making easy to accept Bitcoin payments for companies. We offer “easy-to-install” package to our
customers that they don’t need to worry about installing software etc. We are also offering consulting services to
companies of digital currencies, especially Bitcoin. We want to bring Bitcoin for everyday use to people and thus be
involved in the revolution of digital currencies”, commented Vitakoski.
This is not the first time someone
has sold a Tesla or other car for
bitcoin: in 2013 an anonymous man
in Florida bought a $100,000 Tesla
Model S (91 bitcoins at that time).
Nowadays, in fact, there are lots of places (online and offline) where you can buy a car for bitcoin. And not just
luxury cars.
The most important and remarkable examples
Beepi
Beepi is a peer-to-peer marketplace where you can sell or buy your used car with bitcoin thanks to a partnership
with BitPay.
James Walpole, BitPay Marketing
Associate commented:
“High-value online
transactions are often a target for a credit card fraud, so it makes sense for online vehicle sellers like
Beepi and Bitpremier to turn to bitcoin. We see a lot of potential in markets like these for merchants
and customers to save money and transact more securely.”
BitPay is one the most important service that makes it easy for businesses to accept bitcoin payments, and they are
currently the largest bitcoin payment processor in the world, serving more than 60,000 merchants on six continents.

3. BitPremiere
Their goal is to provide luxury items including cars to bitcoin users. Bitcoin prices are set by TradeBlock XBX and
their fee as intermediary is about 5% which is deducted from the sale proceeds before they are sent to the seller.
BitPremier is supported by the NYC-based Digital Currency Group, BitPay, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase,Coinsetter, Gyft,
Digital Currency Council and TradeBlock.
