A spokeswoman for Horizons Ventures declined to comment on the details of the investment.

“This is Satoshi’s gift to the world, an amazing network and community for the storage and exchange of value. And the only way to transact on that network, is by making use of digital currency units called ‘bitcoins’, of which there will only ever be 21 million in circulation. That is what makes these bitcoins so very special as an investment. And this is why, when you become familiar with the Bitcoin culture, you’ll bump into phrases like ‘one never sells all of his bitcoins’, or: ‘To the moon!’ – pointing out the enormous long term potential of this technology.”
