How to spend your cryptocurrency.

Are you tired of HODLing and want to put your cryptocurrency to good use? Here’s how you can use your crypto in exchange for goods and services.

Purchase From Companies That Accept Bitcoin Directly

Companies like Microsoft, Overstock, Dish, REEDS Jewelers, NewEgg, and AT&T are on a growing list of major retailers that currently accept Bitcoin. There are several travel websites like CheapAir and Travala that also take Bitcoin as a payment method.

Find Local Retailers That Accept Bitcoin

Whether you’re at home, on vacation, or on a business trip, you can find nearby businesses that accept cryptocurrency by using the website coinmap.org.

Try an App or Other Service That Lets You Shop with Crypto

Apps like Spedn and BitPay, along with browser extensions like Moon, enable cryptocurrency purchases from major retailers including Amazon, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, and more. The Purse extension for Chrome works with Amazon specifically.

Bitcoin-friendly global marketplaces like Bitplaza offer a large variety of brand name items that you can purchase with Bitcoin.

You can also use companies like eGifter to purchase gift cards from major retailers in exchange for crypto. eGifter, in particular, accepts Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dash. Gyft is a similar company that only accepts Bitcoin.

Get a Crypto Card

There are several options to choose from when it comes to cryptocurrency credit and debit cards. There’s the Coinbase card, the Bitpay card, Blockcard, and the MCO card, just to name a few. Most are backed by Visa or Mastercard and are accepted anywhere typical credit cards are accepted.
