21 Inc has announced that its Bitcoin Computer mining device is now shipping to most European countries, including major markets such as the UK, France, Germany and Italy.

The news follows the company's recent expansion of sales to countries outside the US, starting with Canada. Further, 21 Inc said it is seeking to open up shipping to more countries over the coming weeks, and hinted that Asia could be next.

The startup further noted that, for EU purchasers, the device comes with the same software that customers in the US and Canada receive.

Launched in September 2015, 21's Bitcoin Computer is a small bitcoin miner intended to enable developers to create new apps powered by bitcoin micropayments.

The company has previously said it plans to create a bitcoin micropayments ecosystem powered by mining chips embedded in different devices.
