To encourage customers to pay with Bitcoin, the company is also offering a 50 percent discount on its services. However, Octagon Networks did not mention the exact amount invested in Bitcoin.

, said that the company got its inspiration from the US-based MicroStrategy company. Yibelo also lost:
We believe that Bitcoin will lead the world to a better future. Bitcoin will help accelerate our goals and overcome the confusion associated with acquiring international clients and talent.
Octagon Networks takes inspiration from MicroStrategy for cryptocurrencies
