Your company will be a status symbol in 2021 if it dares to accept Bitcoin and challenge the status quo. Many companies have benefited from being early adopters, whether for marketing or keeping up with the times. Some significant companies accept Bitcoin, as credit cards are becoming less popular online.

THE LIST OF COMPANIES ARE GIVEN BELOW:

CNN reported that Overstock was “basically, a cryptocurrency company now” in 2018. This exaggeration was based on the retailer’s considerable investment in blockchain technology. Before COVID helped Overstock achieve its current status as one the most popular e-commerce platforms, it was already an experienced Bitcoin merchant.
4. WHOLE FOODS:
Whole foods have partnered with Winklevoss Flexa’s spending app Spedn. The Spedn app allows you to buy whole food groceries with Bitcoin, Lite Coin, or the Gemini Dollar. However, the Spedn app is not limited to whole foods. Baskin Robbins, Jamba Juice, and Regal Cinemas are just a few merchants who are now ready to jump on Bitcoin.
Instantly, the technology converted Bitcoins to dollars for seamless purchases. Whole Foods was one of the first big retailers to adopt this technology. Whole Foods is owned and operated by Amazon. However, Amazon does not accept Bitcoin payments for orders made through its most significant online retailer.
5. ETSY:
Etsy doesn’t offer a Bitcoin payment platform, but independent sellers can accept cryptocurrency in their shops. The seller can add another payment option to their checkout. Buyers can click this option to send a message to the seller indicating their preferred payment method — Bitcoin. To complete the transaction, the seller will reply with a Bitcoin address. A special section of the Etsy Community forum is dedicated to Bitcoin. It contains tutorials on how sellers can advertise they accept Bitcoin and how to make it go smoothly.
6. STARBUCKS:
The Bitcoin community was initially disappointed by Starbucks’ announcement that it would accept Bitcoin payments in its stores starting in 2019. Starbucks later admitted that the reports were incorrect on two fronts. They would not accept Bitcoin payments directly. They would instead partner with Bakkt, the future’s cryptocurrency exchange. Second, Bitcoin payments will not be accepted until the Bakkt app launches mid-2020.
This app is now available, and you can use it to make Bitcoin payments at Starbucks.
7. NEWEGG:
Newegg is well-known in the cryptocurrency community as a place to purchase cryptocurrency mining hardware. They offer a wide range of hardware at all price points.
Newegg accepted bitcoin to purchase their hardware, recognizing their popularity within the cryptocurrency community.
8. HOME DEPOT:
Home Depot also uses Winklevoss/Flexa, the system that allowed Whole Foods, without investing in new hardware, to accept Bitcoin via its digital scanners. No matter the payment they accept or how much, retailers must submit balance sheets in dollars. This was a long-standing problem for companies that wanted to accept Bitcoin. Flexa instantly converts Bitcoin into dollars, giving both sides what they need. Home Depot receives the green dollars it needs in exchange for its paint and Ryobi tools.
9. RAKUTEN:
In 2015, Rakuten, a Japanese website, began offering Bitcoin as a payment option. The company began with Rakuten.com in the U.S. before expanding the service to Rakuten.com, Germany, and Austria. Rakuten made this possible by integrating Bitnet’s payment processing platform into its marketplaces. Rakuten Wallet has been developed since then and now supports altcoins such as Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum.
10. TWITCH:
There is a lot of overlap between people who are into Bitcoin and those who like to play video games.

Bitcoin is an excellent way for you to support your favorite streamers and keep your identity private.
11. CHEAP AIR:
Cheapair.com, American online travel agency, founded in 1989 has accepted Bitcoin through Coin Base. Later on, their payment process was changed to BTC Pay Server.
