Following a statement that his bank will be the first to accept crypto in Mexico, Ricardo Salinas Pliego in a tweet has stated Banco Azteca will soon accept Bitcoin.
In a tweet on Thursday, Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego stated that his Banco Azteca will soon accept Bitcoin.
To show his support for the largest cryptocurrency, the founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas, whose net worth is estimated to be $15.6 billion, has added Bitcoin laser eyes to his Twitter profile image.
Salinas revealed in late June that Banco Azteca wanted to be the first Mexican bank to promote the bellwether coin.
The third-richest Mexican billionaire stated in November that he had converted 10% of his massive assets to Bitcoin.
He believes that investing in the largest cryptocurrency is an excellent approach to diversify one’s portfolio:
“Bitcoin is a good way to diversify your investment portfolio and I think that all investors should start studying cryptocurrencies and their future. At Banco Azteca, we are working to bring them to our clients to continue promoting [financial] freedom.
Dogecoin, on the other hand, does not appeal to Salinas. After informing a fan of the meme cryptocurrency that he would stay poor, he got semi-viral.
