Intesa Sanpaolo, Italy’s largest banking group, has made headlines by purchasing 11 bitcoins for approximately $1 million, becoming the first Italian bank to invest directly in the cryptocurrency. The acquisition, confirmed by the bank’s press office, was revealed after a leaked internal email surfaced online. While the bank acknowledged the purchase, it declined to comment on its motivations or plans involving Bitcoin. This bold move reflects Intesa Sanpaolo’s potential leadership in crypto adoption within Italy’s traditional financial sector, aligning with the growing global trend of institutional interest in Bitcoin.
