Microsoft on Bitcoin
Oops! There is nothing here yet.
Surprising many users and Bitcoin enthusiasts, Microsoft (MSFT) opened up to the use of Bitcoin as a new payment option as far back as 2014 through a partnership with Bitpay that enabled users to buy apps and games for Windows Phone, Xbox, or Windows operating system. According to a spokesperson at Microsoft, the move was designed to "give people options and help them do more on their devices and in the cloud." Corporate vice-president of Universal Store at Microsoft Eric Lockard said that "the use of digital currencies such as bitcoin, while not yet mainstream, is rowing beyond the early enthusiasts. We expect this growth to continue and allowing people to use bitcoin to purchase our products and services now allows us to be at the front edge of that trend."
