Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 7, 2025) - Bitcoin-backed LQWD Technologies Corp. (TSXV: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF) ("LQWD" or the "Company"), a leader in enterprise-grade Bitcoin Lightning Network infrastructure, announces the establishment of a new office in Lugano, Switzerland. This strategic expansion aims to foster partnerships within the Bitcoin Lightning Network ecosystem, advance corporate development initiatives, and enhance investor awareness across the European market.
Lugano has emerged as a significant hub for Bitcoin adoption and innovation. In March 2022, the city announced its plan to accept Bitcoin as de facto legal tender, facilitating the use of Bitcoin for various payments, including taxes and municipal services. This progressive stance has attracted numerous Bitcoin and fintech companies, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for digital finance.
The new office is situated within the Proof of Work Space ("PoW Space"), a premier co-working environment dedicated to Bitcoin and peer-to-peer innovation. Located in the heart of Lugano, PoW Space offers state-of-the-art facilities designed to inspire collaboration and elevate projects to new heights.
Switzerland continues to demonstrate its commitment to integrating Bitcoin into its financial framework. A recent proposal has been initiated to amend the Swiss Federal Constitution, requiring the Swiss National Bank to hold Bitcoin as part of its reserves. This initiative underscores the nation's progressive approach to cryptocurrency adoption and positions Switzerland as a potential pioneer in state-level Bitcoin integration.
