There is no "last" company. New companies will form and current companies will grow or go bankrupt.

If you're talking about the billion-dollar companies that exist TODAY - I would guess those without a strong online presence are going to struggle to implement it. Imagine walking into a busy In-N-Out Burger and asking to pay in Bitcoins.

you mean last company or latest company?

Last company can be Apple; latest company can be Facebook or eBay.

technology-wise i would say oracle, but in general it is probably a north korean pension fund

Yes. I meant last one. The most last one. It is interesting what big company really turns out to be the most slow on Bitcoin adoption. And it is interesting how they will explain they are too late in their would be press release.

I personally liked this :)

Obviously we can't predict the LAST company, but recently NewEgg started accepting Bitcoin. And that's good news.
