According to a Twitter announcement made by owner Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Mexican retail and banking corporation Grupo Elektra will provide support for the Bitcoin Lightning network.
According to the billionaire, the new payment function will appear in Electra stores “very soon.”
Salinas Pliego, the third-richest person in Mexico with an estimated net worth of $15.4 billion, has been a staunch Bitcoin supporter for quite a while.
In November, he made an announcement about putting 10 percent of his portfolio into the largest cryptocurrency.
