Since the Japanese government started recognizing bitcoin as a method of payment in April, a growing number of stores have started accepting bitcoin. Recently, Bitflyer has helped Bic Camera roll out the bitcoin payment option to all of its stores nationwide plus some Sofmap and Kojima stores as well.
Meanwhile, Coincheck has also been growing its list of merchants accepting bitcoin. More than 260,000 stores are expected to start accepting bitcoin this year using Coincheck’s payment service. This week, some merchants temporarily halted accepting bitcoin due to the August 1 hard fork which split the Bitcoin network.
