The deal adds to BitcoinBlack's existing services, including private jet services, a luxury marketplace, rewards program and invitations to exclusive events. BitcoinBlack is owned by New York LTD, a holding company based in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

According to the company's website, cardholders earn up to 10% cash back in the form of SPND reward tokens. The tokens function similar to a traditional cash-back rewards program and can be redeemed for watches, private jets, and more on BitcoinBlack's Haute Living Luxury Marketplace.

Ask the Doctor became one of the first healthcare providers to embrace cryptocurrency when it began accepting Bitcoin (BTC) payments in 2016.

The global telehealth and telemedicine market is rapidly expanding and is expected to reach $342.43 billion by 2028.
