ARDI Policyholders Can Now Purchase Insurance Using Bitcoin
Insurance company ARDI announces that it is beginning to accept payments in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. With this step, the company continues to introduce innovations in the field of insurance financial services (Insurtech).

The option to pay with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is available through ARDI’s updated mobile application. Notably, the application can be used not only by existing customers but also by anyone interested in joining ARDI’s insured community for the first time.
Important information for existing customers:
If you are already using ARDI’s mobile application, please update it via the App Store or Google Play Store.

Ambassadori Island's First Tower Enters a New Phase of Construction
24.06.2026.13:54
The debut building of Ambassadori Island Batumi, a landmark structure of profound historical significance, has officially entered its next phase of construction. This premium multifunctional complex seamlessly integrates residential apartments, a dedicated helipad, entertainment and wellness spaces, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness centers, and branded boutique shops. The bespoke interior architecture for the residences was designed by the acclaimed Italian studio D73.
To guarantee the structural integrity and long-term durability of the high-rise on this newly reclaimed peninsula, engineering techniques of the highest international standards are being deployed. To optimize structural reliability and absolute stability, the heavy foundation piles penetrate to an impressive depth of 65 meters.
Currently, active construction is progressing at the +6.00 meter mark. The vertical reinforced columns for the parking structure and the primary elevator shaft walls have already been successfully poured. Simultaneously, formwork assembly and reinforcement operations for the third level continue on the upper deck. On the main footprint of The First Tower itself, foundation engineering and ground preparation progress in parallel.

Advancing at this rapid pace, well ahead of schedule, serves as clear proof that the Black Sea's most innovative development is unfolding with an exceptional combination of stringent international standards and unprecedented construction momentum.
Following the successful completion of a rigorous initial testing phase, the first 35 foundation piles for the tower have already been installed. The commencement of full foundation works was preceded by a comprehensive cycle of test pile installations and extensive laboratory validations.
Unprecedented momentum continues to define the Ambassadori Island Batumi project. Progress remains substantially ahead of the original timeline, fulfilling core investment commitments a remarkable five years ahead of schedule. The 48 hectares of newly created land in the Black Sea have already been officially commissioned. With operations now transitioning rapidly into above-ground structural works, the sheer scale and dynamic pace of this megaproject are becoming more visible by the day.
