Astrobotic Technology, BitMEX, and Bitcoin Magazine are collaborating to send the first physical Bitcoin to the Moon this summer. The Bitcoin contains 1 BTC, a public address, and a private key engraved on it.

This marks the first Western soft lunar landing since NASA's Apollo 17 mission in 1972, and the occasion will be celebrated with an auction for Bitcoin on the Moon rock, limited-edition commemorative coins and Ordinals, and other collectibles. Additionally, Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to complete the DOGE-1 Mission in 2023 Q3, which was paid for in Dogecoin by Geometric Energy Corp.
