Companies That Accept Bitcoin – How To Spend Bitcoin As Payment

So, you’ve become an investor in Bitcoin, have you? Now your question is where can you spend your new-found wealth? Most people may be familiar with how to trade or convert their Bitcoin into other more universally accepted currencies like Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Euros, but did you know that there are a growing number of companies that will sell their goods and services directly in Bitcoin transactions? A number of prominent and not-so-prominent companies have now made it so one may do business with them directly in Bitcoin and various other types of cryptocurrency.

For your curiosity and our interest, we researched and documented a number of companies that are now accepted Bitcoin as one of their forms of payment. In some instances, the companies involved only accept Bitcoin! 

For this list, we opted to leave out companies involved in gambling, porn, and illegal enterprises such as those operating on the dark net. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are no longer solely the province of criminal enterprises but are now acknowledged as a payment method for legitimate businesses. As the popularity of Bitcoin continues to increase, we expect that this list may not be anywhere close to comprehensive!
