Nashville SC Partners With Valkyrie, Becomes First MLS Club To Accept Bitcoin

/in /by

Nashville Soccer Club has announced the partnership of Valkyrie Investments, a Nashville-based investment manager focused on digital assets, as a Founding Partner. The partnership makes Nashville SC the first Major League Soccer club to accept its full partnership fee in bitcoin.

“As a club we want to be pioneers both on and off the pitch while also being Authentically Nashville,” says Dan Farrell, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships with Nashville SC. “Partnering with Valkyrie provides both a local tie and a platform to connect sports and entertainment to cryptocurrency in the hottest city in the United States.”

As part of the partnership, the Premier Club, an 850-seat premium club located in Nashville SC’s new stadium, will be renamed the Valkyrie Premier Club. The Valkyrie Premier Club has been sold out for nearly a year. In addition to the naming rights to this premium space, Valkyrie’s logo will be featured on the sleeve of the team’s training top.

“Our industry is all about community, and soccer is very much a community-driven sport,” adds Valkyrie Investments CEO Leah Wald. “This partnership with Nashville SC is such a natural fit for both of us, and is only part of our broader efforts to help establish Music City as a global hub for blockchain and digital assets.”

Tickets for home games at the new Nashville SC Stadium are still available to purchase on the club’s website. The home opener is set for May 1 against Philadelphia Union.
