Press Release: Bitcoin.ℏ (BTC.ℏ) Expands Real-World Payments Utility Through Slimepay Settlement Integration

Slimepay integrates BTC.ℏ as a settlement asset, enabling merchant payment flow and instant local-currency settlement beginning with Nigeria

Bitcoin.ℏ (BTC.ℏ), the fixed-supply digital asset built for fast, low-cost, real-world payments, is pleased to announce that BTC.ℏ has been integrated by Slimepay as a settlement asset on its payments platform.

This integration marks another practical milestone in the growth of BTC.ℏ utility. By connecting BTC.ℏ to merchant checkout and local settlement infrastructure, the asset moves further beyond trading and deeper into everyday commerce.

Through this integration, users will be able to receive BTC.ℏ, use BTC.ℏ in supported payment flows, and settle instantly into local currency through Slimepay’s infrastructure, beginning with Nigeria. This creates a stronger bridge between digital-asset utility and real-world payment execution.

For the Bitcoin.ℏ project, this is the kind of infrastructure progress that matters most. BTC.ℏ was designed around fixed supply, fast settlement, low transaction cost, and multichain accessibility, making it well suited for payment environments that need speed, efficiency, and practical usability.

Why It Matters

Expands BTC.ℏ utility beyond trading

Connects BTC.ℏ to merchant-facing checkout infrastructure

Supports instant local-currency settlement

Strengthens BTC.ℏ's role in cross-border and digital commerce

Real adoption happens when a digital asset can move through actual payment rails, reach merchants, and settle cleanly into usable local currency. Slimepay’s integration is a meaningful step in that direction.

Additional rollout details, supported payment flows, and market availability will be shared as they become public.
