Blockstream, a startup which has raised more than $100 million in financing so far, has managed to stream the entire bitcoin blockchain from space.

The stream is processed through five strategically positioned satellites in orbit around Earth, Forbes reports. The latest (fifth) satellite will be covering the Asian-Pacific region, thus covering all major landmasses in the world except for Greenland and Antarctica.

“We see the increased robustness of the bitcoin network and the lower cost of participation contributing to helping businesses rely on the service for backup. And for emerging markets to use as their primary access to the bitcoin network at a lower cost”, said Blockstream, the CEO Adam Back.

Moreover, the startup will soon start implementing a new application programming interface (API), which allows users to send encrypted messages to each other from some of the remotest regions on earth and pay for those messages in bitcoin using the Lightning Network.

“You could set up a bitcoin mining operation in the middle of the desert powered by solar”, added Back.

As a result, its users will be able to send messages, including smaller bitcoin payments, without the need for the internet. All three parties – the sender, receiver, and content – are protected from third-party observation.

“Bitcoin has always been about uncensorable money. And now we have uncensorable communications as well”, said Blockstream chief strategy officer Samson Mow.

Blockstream was founded in 2014 with the goal to apply the latest technology to build the products and networks that make financial markets more efficient by reducing reliance on trust. The startup completed three rounds of financing so far – $21 million in 2014, $55 million in 2016, and $25 million in 2017.

The VCs such as DG Lab Fund, AXA Venture Partners, Digital Garage and Khosla Ventures were some of the major names that participated in the financing rounds.
