币界网报道：Bitcoin payment processor Strike has partnered with video game publisher ZEBEDEE to integrate its technology into the popular game "Bitcoin Moon." The collaboration will allow players to earn and spend small amounts of bitcoin (BTC) through in-game rewards and microtransactions. Strike CEO Jack Mallers announced the partnership, highlighting how it demonstrates bitcoin's utility as a medium of exchange beyond speculative trading. The integration uses the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions, enabling seamless in-game purchases. ZEBEDEE, known for pioneering bitcoin gaming economies, previously implemented similar features in other titles. Mallers emphasized that gaming represents a massive opportunity to onboard new users to bitcoin, as players already engage with digital currencies and virtual economies. The move aligns with Strike's broader strategy to expand bitcoin adoption through practical use cases. "Bitcoin Moon" players can now tip each other, purchase skins, and unlock content using satoshis (fractions of bitcoin), with transactions settling instantly via Lightning. Industry observers note this marks another step toward mainstreaming cryptocurrency in entertainment, following previous gaming integrations by companies like Ubisoft and Atari. The partnership also signals growing interest in "play-to-earn" models that reward players with cryptocurrency. Analysts suggest such integrations could drive significant transaction volume to the Lightning Network while introducing bitcoin to younger demographics. Both companies plan to explore additional gaming partnerships to further bitcoin's use as an internet-native currency.
