Re: Did Twitch secretly end payments with Bitcoin?

In the past, I have often paid for a subscription to streamers on Twitch (part of Amazon) with Bitcoin. I wanted to do this again today, but I can no longer find the payment option for Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. I also could not find any announcement about ending this option.

I couldn't find anything either but have you checked the "See More Methods" option?

See More Methods will allow you to also choose from a wide range of Xsolla options, including Apple Pay, bank transfer, paysafecard, and digital cryptocurrency depending on your region.

Does anyone know if Twitch has permanently removed the Bitcoin payment option or if this is just temporary?

I wouldn't be surprised if they've silently done ^[add/remove] it again.

There's this 2019 article that says it's been removed -

They brought it back in June Cheesy
