Czech Republic’s largest retailer Alza announced that it has started accepting bitcoin as a payment option and has installed a bitcoin ATM (BTM) in two of its showrooms in Prague and Bratislava, as reported by a local news media.

The new bitcoin payment option is available for its shoppers to use. All Alza stores across Europe in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, and the Great Britain as well as on Alzashop.com are accepting the digital currency through Bitcoinpay.

“Prague is already one of the most important centers of bitcoin in Europe. The introduction of trading in bitcoin going to meet the growing popularity of this form of payment and the potential of new technologies,” Jan Sadílek, Alza’s Head of Internet Marketing, stated (loosely translated).
