George Residence becomes the first Nigerian hotel to accept Bitcoin
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) banned financial institutions from supporting cryptocurrency transactions. However, the citizens have found ways to use cryptocurrencies. George Residence has become the first hotel in the country to accept Bitcoin.
Nigeria’s hotel now accepts Bitcoin
Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world and the leading economy in Africa. Hence, it is not a surprise that it was the leader in cryptocurrency adoption in Africa. It was one of the top crypto users in the world until the CBN decided to ban financial institutions from supporting cryptocurrency transactions.Admittedly, the move hasn’t stopped Nigerians from adopting cryptocurrencies. The adoption is growing, resulting in George Residence becoming the first hotel in the country to accept Bitcoin. George Residence, a luxury hotel which entered the Nigerian market last year, announced yesterday that it is now accepting BTC as payment for its hotel rooms.
Chief Executive Officer Yanju George announced this yesterday, stating that ‘‘we have allocated around 50% of our cash reserves to Bitcoin…We hope to increase that as time goes on. Bitcoin is the currency of the future, and it is only right that we are strongly positioned, so we do not get left behind."
According to the CEO, Bitcoin adoption allows their customers to have a faster and more secure way to enjoy the comfort the hotel offers. George Residence partnered with Coinvest Africa, a leading cryptocurrency brokerage firm, to process the cryptocurrency payments.
George Residence is located in the Lekki area of Lagos. It provides high-end hospitality services to celebrities and business travelers in Nigeria.
Nigerians remain interested in cryptocurrencies
The CBN made it tough for Nigerians to buy and sell cryptocurrencies after banning financial institutions from supporting crypto transactions. However, Nigerians resorted to using peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms such as LocalBitcoins and Paxful. They also use the P2P feature available on Binance, which is the leading cryptocurrency exchange in the country.The high demand for cryptocurrencies stems from the instability of the Naira, Nigeria’s local fiat currency. The currency has been devalued several times over the past six years. Furthermore, the country is suffering from hyperinflation, with the prices of foods, electronics, petrol, and others rising massively in recent years.
All these factors pushed Nigerians towards adopting cryptocurrencies. In fact, Bitcoin and others help protect their wealth from hyperinflation and constant currency devaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
