According to a filing with the SEC, it had approximately $ 202 million in cash at the time, indicating that it had invested about 0.5% of its funds in BTC.
Metromile announced in May this year that it gradually plans to set aside $ 10 million for the purchase of BTC. It is therefore possible that Metromile’s investment in BTC will accelerate in the coming months.
The American company specializes in car insurance – it offers its customers a pay-per-mile service, through which its customers pay premiums for mileage. Already in May, she informed them that if they were interested, they could have their insurance claim paid out in BTC as well.
