Bitcoin’s core principle of decentralization has given rise to diverse sectors within the Bitcoin industry. From trading platforms, zero-carbon mining operations, and blockchain infrastructures to software development, banking, payment solutions, and even digital artistry. These sectors represent a fraction of Bitcoin’s potential applications. Following is a closer look at the companies in the UK making strides in these disciplines.
