PSV’s decision to accept their sponsorship payment in Bitcoin has been heralded as a pioneering move and was recently introduced as a successful case proposing crypto supremacy.
PSV had made headlines before when they announced their contract with Anycoin direct, a BTC exchange, that had paid the contract money to the team in Bitcoin. In a recent interview given by the club to the Bitcoin Magazine, the club had confirmed that the BTC is still held securely in the club’s balance sheet.
PSV had become the first-ever European football club to have participated in a contract that had promised them their share to be paid exclusively in BTC. The said move had garnered a lot of attention from across the world and had left an impact on people convincing them to be more open towards the new digital assets paradigm.
PSV Intends to Spread Awareness Regarding Bitcoin Transactions

The club has been pursuing self custody of BTC from the start and has stated that they have no plans to sell the acquired crypto in the future. Janssen further opined that the club is always up for innovative processes and cryptocurrency seems to be a right fit for the club to explore and experiment with.
