Blockstream CEO Samson Mow revealed on Twitter that the company has completed the first Bitcoin transaction originating from space (not relayed first on the terrestrial Internet).
During the ABA Summit, Mow sent Chris Hadfield his first Bitcoin from space via Blockstream Satellite. Mow’s team customized the service so the transaction was sent from one of their teleports to T11N, E113, and G18, then broadcast to users that relayed to the Bitcoin network via terrestrial Internet.
“It may also be the first time an astronaut has received BTC. At least it's the first time a commander of the International Space Station has received BTC,” he tweeted.
