The collaboration will take place in both Ontario and British Columbia . To kick off the partnership, CoinSmart will be offering some cryptocurrency to Glenlivet's patrons by placing redemption codes on Glenlivet packaging.

The on-pack activity will enable consumers in British Columbia to enjoy a gift of cryptocurrency, with any purchase of a number of Glenlivet SKUs, including the new 14 year old special edition whisky, while customers in Ontario will get a similar offering when buying Glenlivet SKUs including Founders Reserve, 12-year old and 15-year-old whisky, and Caribbean Cask Single Malt.

By marrying the two powerful brands, CoinSmart and Glenlivet will allow purchasers to experience the union of tradition and innovation by appreciating the finest spirits and exploring the world of digital assets. After scanning the QR code on a Glenlivet bottle sleeve and entering their unique promo code on the CoinSmart website, consumers will receive an initial deposit of Bitcoin as a gift, which they will then be able to exchange to any of the other digital assets traded on the CoinSmart platform, including Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL), among others.

We are delighted to partner with such an iconic whisky known the world over," said CoinSmart CEO Justin Hartzman . "This partnership -- a first of its kind in Canada -- celebrates Glenlivet's newest single malt while giving Glenlivet enthusiasts the gift of crypto. At CoinSmart we want to make cryptocurrencies accessible by providing a best-in-class and highly secure platform. Glenlivet provides quality scotch through its best-in-class distillery and has become one of the best-selling single malt brands in the world. It is a natural fit."

"We are excited to announce our partnership with CoinSmart for the launch of The Glenlivet 14 Year Old," said Giancarlo Gallucci , The Glenlivet Canada. "As The Glenlivet continues to break stereotypes in the single malt category, CoinSmart's platform unlocks the potential for innovative cryptocurrency offerings to our retail consumers."

Bitcoin Sets New Price Record, Surpasses Market Cap of Silver

Bitcoin has hit a new milestone, surpassing the US$72,000 mark in the early hours of Monday (March 11).

“Major financial institutions are now actively involved in holding and trading BTC, catering to high-net-worth clients, thereby enhancing the significance and acceptance of digital assets within the financial industry," said research analyst Matteo Greco of Fineqia International (CSE:FNQ) in an emailed note.
