Dubai has not issued any licence relating to Bitcoins to date, a senior government official told.

On the social media scene, kiosks have been touted as Bitcoin Teller Machines (BTMs). The kiosks, being marketed as Bitcoin teller machines (BTM), are of a company that offers convenient solution to pay your bills for both local and international services.

In response to our query on twitter on whether BTMs were planned to be installed in the UAE, Bit Access, an Ottawa-based Bitcoin ATM startup, using the Twitter handle @BitAccess, responded, saying, “It will be putting out news soon as details are being finalised.”Currently, there is only one company in the UAE, The Pizza Guys, that accepts Bitcoin.
