Another Finland based company that rents luxury yachts, NAMI, has integrated Bitcoin as a payment option. Miika Toivonen from Luxury Collection by Auto-Outlet has already sold Tesla electric cars and other premium-cars with Bitcoin and is willing to extend Bitcoin payments as a part of his other businesses as well, this time, luxury yachts.
Miika Toivonen, Director of NAMI, says:
‘We’re always willing to take part on everything that is new, like selling Teslas with Bitcoin, so why cant we also rent yachts as well. So far we’ve sold a nice amount of Tesla electric cars around Europe, so I believe the same thing will work with luxury yachts as well.’
