Global Bitcoin Adoption Trends

The distribution shows more BTC acceptance in Central and South America, less in Africa and Asia, and higher numbers in the US and Europe.

In Southeast Asia, the Philippines leads in BTC-accepting merchants, with over 400 small businesses enabled for Bitcoin payments, marking a significant shift in the country’s digital economy.

Despite limited representation in China, India, and Russia, the growing number of Bitcoin-accepting retailers globally indicates increasing popularity. A survey reveals many merchants tend to sell received cryptocurrencies immediately, hinting at a trend favouring instant conversion over retention.

This rising trend aligns with Bitcoin’s year-round price volatility. While data gathering relies on volunteer efforts and may not cover all vendors, the increased acceptance showcases BTC’s global embrace.

Accepting cryptocurrency at the point of sale offers businesses advantages such as lower transaction fees, final transactions akin to cash, and protection from chargebacks. It also provides customers alternative payment options, enhancing convenience and information security.

Incorporating cryptocurrency into payment systems offers businesses a cost-effective, secure, and globally accessible solution. With over 6,000 global merchants now accepting Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency is solidifying its role as a mainstream medium of exchange.
