World's first 'Bitcoin skyscraper' to be built in Dubai

Adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies continues to grow. Bitcoin is a figurehead for the industry as the first cryptocurrency. Much of the marketing for Bitcoin comes from outside, for example, in January 2023, the BTC logo could be seen on the Fernsehturm, a television tower in Berlin. Now a developer from Dubai has come forward with an even more extreme plan to accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin and Web3.

The person who arrived with this plan listens to the name Salvatore Leggiero. Salvatore Leggiero recently announced his ambitious plans to build the first-ever "Bitcoin tower" in Dubai. Leggiero is the founder of Dubai-based real estate company DCREW and he is also the CEO of Metaverse Investments LLC.

The Bitcoin tower will be a hotel of as many as 40 floors. The tower is to symbolize Dubai's tribute to Bitcoin and the principles of its anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Leggiero sees the tower as a real estate revolution that bridges the gap between digital and physical assets. During the construction of the tower, an exclusive NFT collection will be formed, dedicated to the tower's design.
