This is another good news as Bitcoin adoption is increasing year after year, there has never been a direct means to use Bitcoin as payment on Amazon, but there will be changes even before the end of the year. Amazon is already planning to add Bitcoin to its payment method, it was said that the directive is coming from the Amazon president, Jeff Bazos.
“This isn’t just going through the motions to set up cryptocurrency payment solutions at some point in the future – this is a full-on, well-discussed, integral part of the future mechanism of how Amazon will work,” she told City AM.
“It begins with Bitcoin – this is the key first stage of this crypto project, and the directive is coming from the very top… Jeff Bezos himself.”
The insider also explained that directors of the world’s fourth largest company were keen to move towards ticking off other big cryptocurrencies once it had established a fast and secure method of Bitcoin payment.
Great news indeed. But there is still some time until the end of the year. Who knows if there won't be another rollback as regulators target the new payment option. I recently started a thread here after Twitch (a company owned by Amazon) ended Bitcoin and crypto payments overnight without notice. So far there has been no official reason given.
Also, until now you could already indirectly purchase from Amazon with Bitcoin, just by buying Amazon vouchers with Bitcoin.
