Bitcoin is getting closer overtaking Mastercard's daily transfer volume.

I call bullshit on this.  Their number very likely includes the change that gets sent back.  So if you have 1 BTC on your wallet, and you make a payment of 0.01 BTC to buy groceries, you send 0.01 BTC to the merchant and 0.99 to a change address, this likely gets counted as 1 BTC being transfered.

EDIT: Also applies for just sending BTC from one of your wallets to another of your wallets.
