Methodology

How this list is built. Each row points to a public page on the merchant's own site (or its payment processor) stating BTC acceptance. That page is re‑fetched daily and the evidence classified. If the evidence disappears, the row loses verified status automatically. Direct means you pay the merchant in BTC at checkout; gift card means you buy that merchant's gift card with BTC through a processor.

A row is verified only when its evidence URL was fetched on the date shown and that page demonstrated Bitcoin acceptance — a checkout option, a payments or FAQ statement, or a current payment-processor directory listing. A cron job re-fetches every evidence URL once a day and classifies the retrieved text; the classifier reads only the fetched page and is never allowed to fill gaps from prior knowledge. Pages that no longer show acceptance move to no longer accepting and stay listed at the bottom of this page rather than disappearing. Pages that are ambiguous, blocked, or unreachable for three consecutive days become pending re-check — the honest answer when the evidence will not load. Rows we could not confirm at all are excluded from the ledger rather than padded into it. The full dataset, including evidence URLs, is published at /data.json under CC BY 4.0.

Frequently asked questions

How many merchants accept Bitcoin right now?

94 of the 110 merchants we track were verified on 16 August 2026, meaning a checker fetched each one's evidence page that day and found Bitcoin acceptance stated on it. The other 16 are pending re-check, normally because their evidence page was unreachable or too vague to call.

Can you buy flights and travel with Bitcoin?

Yes. 3 merchants in our travel category were verified on 16 August 2026: GetYourGuide, JetFinder and LunaJets. Airlines and booking sites add and drop Bitcoin often, so each one is re-checked every day against its own evidence page, and any that stops saying so loses its verified status.

Does Microsoft accept Bitcoin?

Yes, as of 16 August 2026. Our Microsoft row is verified: the evidence page we fetch that day states you can top up a Microsoft account with Bitcoin, paying direct via BitPay. It is filed under Gaming. If that page stops saying so, the row loses verified status automatically the next morning.

What is the difference between paying direct and via gift card?

Direct means the merchant takes Bitcoin at its own checkout, usually with a processor settling the payment behind it; 76 of our verified rows work that way. Gift card means you buy that merchant's card with Bitcoin through a third party and then spend the card: 18 verified rows.

Which payment processor handles the most Bitcoin acceptance?

BitPay, by a wide margin: 78 of our 94 verified rows route through it; 7 through Bitrefill, 1 through CoinGate. Another 7 accept Bitcoin natively with no processor at all. The route is recorded per row and shown in the How to pay column, so you can see it before you click.

How is this list verified?

A cron job re-fetches every row's evidence URL once a day and classifies only the text it just retrieved, never prior knowledge. A page that still shows acceptance keeps the row verified and dated. One that stops is dropped and stays listed. Unreachable pages become pending after three days.
