Strike moves global headquarters to El Salvador, expands to 65 countries By Cointelegraph

Strike, a Chicago-based (BTC) payment provider, expanded its services to 65 countries in parallel to relocating its global headquarters to El Salvador. Before its expansion, the mobile app was operational only in the United States, El Salvador and Argentina.

According to Jack Mallers, the CEO and founder of Zap, Strike’s parent company, the expansion drive aims to counter the “clouded world of crypto exchanges and hidden, unregistered licensing regimes and 1,000 different coins.” Speaking to Fortune, Mallers revealed that relocating its headquarters to El Salvador was a response to the growing anti-crypto regulatory sentiments in the United States.
