There's absolutely no mention of BitCoin in that quote, the reporter merely implies that BitCoin is the referent by the context of the quote.
Based on my interaction with reporters, it's not a stretch at all for the reporter to misunderstand a part of a conversation, and stick by their misinterpretation. This will happen even on things that could be fact-checked later. I think this strange quirk has something to do with not being influenced by their sources, but I can only guess why they engage in that recipe for inaccuracy.
