Context:
More and more shops worldwide offer their customers to pay their customers’ purchases. Since the beginning of 2025, the initiative has been accelerated.
Spar tests cryptomatic payments
Bitcoin gains importance and even Gary Gensler, former American Sec President, boasts his merits. A pig that did not fall into the deaf ears because the distribution giant Spar now allows you to use it to pay for purchases.
According to the recent publication of the Rahim Taghizadegan client on LinkedIn, the company would just launch a pilot program that allows you to pay in bitcoins via Lightning Network. Experience begins in the ZUG store, the Swiss city already known for its crypto-friendly policy and uses the local DFX Exchange platform.
The first payment of bitcoins in the supermarket in Switzerland – Spar in Zug, impressive implementation @Dfx_swiss. Just scan the static code QR, send SATS, immediate and easy registration of the cashier. If enough people use it, it can be introduced in a white country. pic.twitter.com/v9n0zhodgn

If you want to use it, it does not have to be a crypto ace. Just have a crypto portfolio and search the QR code so that its Satoshi is sent directly to the store portfolio. All that remains is to cook only to record the transaction.
Crypto local sphere already trends because If the test is convincing, the system could expand to all SPAR stores in Switzerland. And it could even be deployed in several 13,900 others spread in 48 countries. If this was the case, the initiative would make the largest bitcoin acceptor in the world of great distribution.
A request that grows
We are always a little surprised to see that more and more shops that have now joined Spar have reached the crypto. However, it is only a reaction to customer demand.
Adana’s latest study even shows us that in four French people will be for crypto salaries. A favorable sign in a country known to receive changes and innovation of difficulty. But don’t be too fast: paying bitcoins everywhere will only be possible if taxation and local regulations are favorable, regardless of country. In France, however, the first point is far from won.
Morality of History: Paying bitcoins rules with innovations.
