Houston Texans announced today that they have entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with Bitwallet. Houston Texans supporters will be able to buy single-game suites using cryptocurrencies.
Bitwallet Becomes the ‘Official Digital Currency Wallet of the Houston Texans,’ NFL Team Accepts Crypto Assets for Single Game Suites
On Tuesday, the crypto wallet firm Bitwallet announced that the company has inked a deal with the National Football League’s (NFL) Houston Texans. Fans will be able to purchase single-game suites as well as pay using four digital assets. Bitwallet’s website, which notes that it is the “official wallet of the Houston Texans,” shows the company’s software supports bitcoin (BTC), litecoin (LTC), bitcoin cash (BCH), and ethereum (ETH).
“We are proud to partner with Bitwallet to offer an exciting option for our fans who are looking to enjoy Texans gameday in one of our suites,” Greg Grissom, the Houston Texans president said in a statement. Grissom added that the NFL team continues its efforts to move the “organization forward in new and innovative ways.”
The Texans claim that they are the first league team to allow cryptocurrency for suite sales. A few NFL teams are open to cryptocurrency exposure by sponsor deals in the recent past. Blockchain.com joined the Dallas Cowboys as a partner in mid-April 2022. Grayscale Investments, the official digital currency asset manager for the New York Giants, was established in May 2021.
Moreover, a number of NFL players including Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley, Russell Okung, Aaron Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Rob ‘Gronk’ Gronkowski, and Tom Brady have either invested in cryptocurrencies, backed non-fungible token (NFT) projects, participated in crypto giveaways, or have been paid in bitcoin. The NFL is not the only professional sport team that has embraced crypto. In mid-March 2021, Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Oakland Athletics (A’s) accepted bitcoin for full season suites.
During the announcement, Bitwallet’s CEO John T. Perrone said the company was honored to offer Texans fans the ability to use crypto. “Digital currency has become a primary means of payment and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL,” Perrone remarked. The Houston Texans was founded in 1999 and is among four NFL teams who have not made it to Super Bowl.
