# What Can You Buy With Bitcoin?

> A daily-verified ledger of merchants where a consumer can actually pay with Bitcoin. Every verified row links to the page it was proved from, and every row is re-checked once a day.

This site answers one question and keeps the answer current: which merchants
accept Bitcoin today, and what is the evidence. Each row records the merchant,
a category, how payment is routed (directly at the merchant's checkout, or by
buying a gift card with Bitcoin through a third party), the date it was last
verified, and a link to the specific page that demonstrated acceptance. Rows
that can no longer be proved are marked or removed rather than left standing.
The site takes no submissions, sells no placements and carries no affiliate
links.

Last full verification: 2026-08-16. Update cadence: verified daily.

## Method

A cron job re-fetches every row's evidence URL once a day and classifies only
the text it just retrieved; the classifier is never permitted to fill gaps from
prior knowledge. A page that still shows acceptance keeps the row verified and
re-dates it. A page that stops showing acceptance moves the row out of the
ledger, where it stays listed rather than quietly disappearing. A page that is
unreachable, blocked or too ambiguous to call for three consecutive days marks
the row pending re-check. Merchants we cannot confirm at all are left out.
