Strike Africa will now be available in Gabon, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia, with plans for further expansion in the future. With this expansion, Strike aims to address the unique financial challenges faced by many African countries, including high inflation rates, currency depreciation, and expensive remittance services.
“Strike Africa is just the beginning,” Mallers said. “Our commitment to Bitcoin is stronger than ever and we will continue to launch new regions throughout 2024.”
Through Strike Africa, users will have access to a comprehensive suite of Bitcoin and Lightning services, including on- and off-ramps local fiat currencies, the ability to buy and sell Bitcoin and USDT, cross-border payments, and more. Through these offerings, Strike aims to empower individuals and businesses with fast, secure and cost-effective financial solutions.
Jack Mallers emphasized the importance of Bitcoin as a digital reserve asset and a hedge against inflation in African countries experiencing economic turmoil. He highlighted the significant impact that Strike's services can have in providing individuals with the tools to protect their property rights and preserve their wealth.
Furthermore, Strike Africa will enable businesses to open accounts and access a range of services tailored to their needs. The availability of Strike's API hopes to enable developers to create innovative Bitcoin and payment tools for customers in Africa and beyond.
Additionally, Strike Private will provide eligible clients with customized services, including personalized pricing, Bitcoin education, market analysis, and more. This tailored approach aims to support customers on their Bitcoin journey and provide them with expert guidance and assistance.
