Kenya
Kenya has one of the world's most advanced mobile-money cultures, thanks to M-Pesa, and that payments-first mindset has carried over to bitcoin. Bitcoin is legal but not legal tender, and the Central Bank has repeatedly cautioned against it rather than banned it. Regulation is taking shape: the Finance Act 2023 introduced a 3% tax on digital-asset transfers, and authorities have been drafting a framework to license service providers. Kenya has also become a quiet leader in bitcoin mining, with projects such as Gridless powering miners from off-grid hydro and other renewable plants. Nairobi's meetups and a growing number of bitcoin-accepting merchants keep the community active. Use this map to find the Kenyan places where you can spend sats.
