First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF), a blockchain-powered
technology developer that has created more than 100 unique cryptocurrencies
during its history, is preparing to make a revolutionary leap in its revenue
generation following its acquisition of the ‘bitcoin ATM patent’ (http://ibn.fm/COpsb), which it
intends to use in governing the more than 3,000 bitcoin ATMs – and growing –
operated in the United States.
Bitcoin ATMs are novel machines built on the model of a
standard banking ATM, but they allow their users to instantly buy or sell
bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using cash or tokens, without any
expectation of a bank account’s involvement in the transaction – although debit
and credit cards are accepted.
The patent covers the mechanism that manages the purchase
and sale of cryptocurrencies at the kiosks. Industry watcher Coin ATM Radar
states that a daily average of 3.7 bitcoin ATM installations were occurring in
the United States as of July (http://ibn.fm/ZUJco),
and First Bitcoin stated in its news release announcing the acquisition that a
business plan prepared by a third party predicts that the patent will bring in
more than $50 million in profits over the coming five years.
The company is establishing its strategies for implementing
an IP management plan, and it predicts that the patent could have a significant
impact on the cryptocurrency industry itself.
“All bitcoin ATMs and kiosks manufactured and sold in the
U.S., and all bitcoin ATMs and kiosks operated in the U.S. are believed to be
subject to this patent and the company intends to enforce its right upon
acquisition of same. The company has already begun negotiations with a major
law firm that has a very successful track record in enforcing patent rights
when working on a contingency basis,” the news release states (http://ibn.fm/FRYce).
Patenting bitcoin ATMs has been the subject of corporate
competition in recent months. DNA Dynamics announced (http://ibn.fm/H3H2D) that it
hoped to control “a crucial patent that requires any bitcoin ATM operator to
give a royalty on every bitcoin ATM transaction throughout the U.S.,” for
example, and Bank of America filed its own statement of interest (http://ibn.fm/4rehC) in
technology that uses blockchain to “accelerate transaction speed and/or
facilitate other types of transactions in addition to ATM transactions like
cash withdrawals and deposits, such as gift registry transactions.”
“Being the first ever publicly traded company in the bitcoin
and blockchain industry, we now have acquired one of the most important
intellectual properties in this space, as we believe that this patent will
provide us a unique and leveraged position, in addition to our other projects
as we continue moving forward into the digital asset and cryptocurrency
businesses,” First Bitcoin CEO Greg Rubin stated in a news release. “This
patent complements our innovation in the field.”
First Bitcoin is developing its ATM presence by launching a
pilot test program through which it has ordered Simple Automated Money, Inc.
(SAMCO)’s S.A.M. kiosks to integrate bitcoin ATM into self-service check
cashing kiosks nationwide, beginning with three kiosks in Northern California.
The ATMs will grant unbanked consumers a fast and confidential check-cashing
experience through SAMCO’s web-enabled units (http://ibn.fm/HBZSU).
First Bitcoin stated that it is expanding its California
dispensary ATM locations to include C-stores and supermarkets. The company
announced that it will also begin to add bitcoin buy/sell capabilities through
the nationwide network of 85 SAMCO kiosks currently in operation, as well as
money order processing and check cashing through touchscreen, biometric-secured
access.
