Ducatus Global
Introduction
Since the first release of cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) in 2009, it has become a global
currency with people buying, selling, trading and even minting it. It has gained
traction over the past ten years to the point where a number of countries have
created (or are creating) regulations for it, so it can be used seamlessly around the
world for a wide range of products and services, such as homes, vacations, and
food. The concept of using a new currency ecosystem was slow to accept at first
but has recently gained speed. There are many companies, global and
international, that accept cryptocurrency. Let’s take a look at a few.

Microsoft
This global software company began in the late 1970s
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company moved its
headquarters to Seattle, Washington in 1979. In the
early 1980s, IBM began using Microsoft’s 16-bit
operating system, MS-DOS 1.0. The rest is history.
Aside from its innovative products, Microsoft made
history again by accepting cryptocurrency for its online
Xbox store in 2014. It now accepts it only for Xbox
store credits.

This e-commerce platform allows you to start a

granted the option of accepting Bitcoin payments.
Thousands of merchants do accept Bitcoin with the
