Uphold (formerly Bitreserve) is a cloud-based digital money platform. Users can buy, hold, convert and transact across currencies and commodities, including cryptocurrencies. Headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, it also has offices in Larkspur, California, Braga, London, and Shanghai, Uphold allows users to convert bitcoin into "cloud money,"[1]
History[edit]
