Feeling crypto-wealthy? Here's something worth thinking about

Some high-end luxury items can now be paid for in crypto

You can even pay for a private jet with Apecoin!

Luxury products and experiences are increasingly associating themselves with the crypto crowd. Here’s what’s going on.

Cryptocurrencies are transforming the luxury market. Businesses in locations like Dubai, Miami, Gold Coast, and London are accepting crypto for high-end sales. This is reshaping how the world’s elite buy luxury goods and experiences.

Cryptocurrency has transcended its origins as a niche digital asset, an ideologically rebellious tool designed to work around corrupt government spending and unfair banking Goliaths.

Interestingly, high-value luxury items worldwide are increasingly putting crypto prices on their tags.

From sleek supercars to sprawling estates, private jets to dazzling jewels, spending Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies when buying big-ticket items is reshaping the luxury market.

Here’s a look at some of the standout places around the world where crypto is welcomed for extravagant purchases.

Crypto extravagance in property

On gorgeous Moreton Island, in Queensland, Australia, you can buy a stunning property they call the “Moreton Mansion”. It’s going for AUD$2,000,000 or ₿22.073 (at time of writing, 7 March 2025). Got 22 Bitcoin and change? You are in the running.

Dubai has been known for quite some time as a region of cryptocurrency adoption, particularly for luxury goods. And luxury properties are always fun to snoop on. Real estate developers like Fäm Properties accept crypto for high-end properties, including penthouses with panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa.

Miami in the USA also has crypto-friendly businesses. The city’s luxury real estate market is now populated with companies like Propy. They offer Bitcoin as a way to buy multimillion-dollar mansions along the beach.

Luxury property in particular is a field where many companies are crypto-friendly, and they seem to be especially Bitcoin friendly.

Crypto cars

But let’s talk supercars. Car enthusiasts can head to [Crypto Exchange Dubai] (https://cryptoexchange.ae/marketplace/cars) to snag a Lamborghini or Ferrari using crypto.

Or in Australia, if you want to pay in crypto for a hot supercar, customers can head to Lorbek in Melbourne and pay in crypto. Whether that be a Porshe Macan, or a Bentley Continental, the average cost of the cars ranges from AU$100-500K, according to Srecko Lorbeck.

Check out this fly ride. This is a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The last one of these for sale at Lorbeck was going for AUD$208,888 or roughly about ₿1.45.

Hot car for Bitcoin

As Bitcoin becomes more widely used as a currency, we are likely to see more luxury items with the Bitcoin symbol on their price tags.

Luxury travel

Well of course there is a private jet company called Global Charter that takes crypto in payment. In fact they have an amazing wide range of crypto that they will accept. For example you can hire a jet to take you to the South of France, and pay in Apecoin.

You can also hire a helicopter or a superyacht, and roll out your Dogecoin to pay up.

Hotels, luxury and crypto

As for hotels, you can stay in the 7-star Palazzo Versace in Dubai, where you can pay with various cryptocurrencies. Have an indulgent stay for around ₿0.0071 per night at today’s prices. Better than two Bitcoin pizzas on a couch in 2009!

London, a city synonymous with sophistication, is embracing cryptocurrency for its luxury offerings. Berkeley Travel are bespoke travel agency that design super fancy holidays and tours that you don’t have to share with other randos.

They accept Bitcoin for curated vacations, including private helicopter tours over the English countryside.

Sparkly things

C W Sellors sells jewellery, from diamond rings to designer watches, payable in crypto.

You can now purchase high-end timepieces and other shiny things using Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Dai, Litecoin, and USDC.

Crypto for other luxuries

Auction house Sotheby’s accepts crypto for fine art worldwide, while Space Perspective takes Bitcoin to go into orbit. Going to space must surely be the biggest luxury flex?

Why crypto for luxury?

The crypto landscape is no stranger to luxury. The appeal is clear. Cryptocurrencies offer low transaction fees, global accessibility, and a hedge against currency fluctuations, which is attractive for borderless luxury purchases.

Sellers, meanwhile, tap into a wealthy, tech-savvy clientele eager to spend their digital fortunes.

As adoption grows, expect more LUXURY destinations and brands to join the crypto revolution.
