CNN
A Canadian company called the Geometric Energy Corporation confirmed that it will pay SpaceX solely in dogecoin in order to secure a spot for an 88-pound satellite on a mission, called Doge-1, slated to take off in early 2022. The satellite will "obtain lunar-spatial intelligence from sensors and cameras," according to a press release.
"This is not a joke," Geometric Energy Corporation CEO Samuel Reid said via phone. He declined further comment about the deal.
