Bitcoin Hodlers Spend Their Crypto on Jay-Z and Beyoncé

By Daily Hodl Staff

Jay-Z and Beyoncé tickets are a hot Bitcoin item, according to The White Company, the London-based purveyor of fine arts and luxury goods. Known for closing the first Bitcoin sale of a contemporary art piece in the US, the company is now fielding requests for Jay-Z and Beyoncé tickets for their On the Run II tour.

“Our clients are spending their crypto holdings on entertainment and experiences with music festivals such as Tomorrowland and the Jay-Z and Beyoncé tour being the most requested tickets. We had two requests come in for the On the Run II tour before we listed the item – and since, we’ve sold group packages and single tickets to multiple cities on their tour.”

The Jay-Z and Beyoncé tickets sold in DC, LA and Miami, and included a premium reserved ticket in sections along the runway, as well as access to a backstage tour led by a VIP concierge.

That’s not all.

A list of lavish perks designed to indulge Jay-Z and Beyoncé fans with the crypto-concert experience of a lifetime includes VIP parking, exclusive access to the pre-show VIP lounge and the VIP bar with beer, wine, signature cocktails, and hot and cold hors d’oeuvres. Ticket hodlers also get a seat at the dessert bar with a chocolate fountain and are welcome to experience the green screen photo booth, a DJ spinning the pop duo’s latest hits, red-carpet photo ops, access to the concierge team and onsite hosts throughout the night.

The White Company also accepts Bitcoin Cash whose investors are demanding luxury goods and over-the-top experiences, with the Jay-Z and Beyoncé On the Run II tour tickets being the most popular items.

The company just hit the $100-million mark in cryptocurrency sales after a string of blockbuster purchases including Lamborghinis and artwork. It sold a vintage Ferrari for $4 million in Bitcoin to a collector in China, and a Nissan GTR to a 16-year-old without a driver’s license who made the purchase by converting the altcoins he mined on his gaming console into Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The White Company has given Bitcoin major mainstream appeal, cultivating a high-end clientele and redefining the world’s number one cryptocurrency as a store of value for people who enjoy culture, world-class entertainment, outstanding engineering and exquisite goods.

The company’s sale of “Select A Victim” by American painter Mark Flood in July of last year for 12.3 BTC (roughly $100,000) made it the first piece of contemporary art to be purchased with Bitcoin in the US.
