Scottsdale, AZ, Nov. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northsight Capital Inc. (OTCBB: NCAP) announced that it has signed a preliminary agreement to acquire 80% of Westcliff Technologies. Westcliff currently operates a digital asset retail brokerage as “National Bitcoin ATM” and provides consumers the ability to purchase Bitcoin instantly through a network of kiosks (ATM’s) located in the United States. The company has 24 kiosks producing an average of $180,000 per year each, or approximately $4 plus million a year and has transacted $9.2 million since inception in June 2015. At the current revenue levels, the company is not profitable.  Westcliff has been working exclusively in the blockchain space since inception. 

Northsight is also acquiring 49% of Westcliff’s ICO (Initial Coin Offering) and wallet platforms, which are currently under development and pre-revenue. Westcliff will be re-branding and is developing additional revenue generating products and services to offer their customers while expanding their footprint. Their mobile wallet platform is for customers to buy, sell, store, and send their digital assets. Additionally, they are expanding their network to offer physical and online access points for customers to purchase bitcoin and other digital assets using many different forms of payment. Lastly, Westcliff is developing a proprietary rewards/membership token based on the Ethereum protocol that will be available to the public through an initial coin offering. This token will also be available for purchase on their brokerage platform for consumers.

The acquisition transaction is subject to among other conditions, board approval, NCAP’s receipt of $3 million in funding, and the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement.  Consequently, there is no assurance the transaction will be consummated. Other terms and other conditions of the acquisition were not released.
