Digital River

Is this list just for companies based in USA or can I add others?

UK for example.

Scan.co.uk (Software and Hardware company) like Newegg etc etc
Overclockers.co.uk  (as above)
Takeaway.com  (Can order food and takeaways etc)


Sweden

Webhallen.com  (Large in Scandinavia, like Newegg in what they sell)

how about Zynga and Wordpress?
i think they accept bitcoin too

i hope many big companies will accept bitcoin in the future
amazon, agoda, apple :P

This list is going to be a real pain to maintain at some point.

There's an updated list like this here: http://www.panture.com/businesses-that-accept-bitcoin/

But they obviously don't cover all companies. And I must agree, eventually maintaining a standard list will become difficult

You could improve your list by including a link to those companies' commerce pages where the bitcoin is used.

Further, the companies who joined the list as the 'largest' at the time bitcoin acceptance began deserve special recognition.  Give them a star or something. 

Please mention the jurisdiction in your list, like which one is US only, which one is EU only and which one is open for the world.

Also, it might be interesting to list them by billions of USD revenue per year.  That way, you could limit to 1 billion or more.

Thanks for the list
Will keep track of this thread and add to it as well but some rules on market capital might be worth noting as Bitchick said.

What is the combined annual revenue? I think we could safely say 10% of that would be higher than bitcoin's current market cap

A little surprise Amazon didn't jump on the bandwagon yet.

Indeed, that was positive news today. Hopefully they aren't on there way to going bankrupt still.

One of the things stopping people from paying in bitcoin is that most people buy Bitcoin as an investment with the idea to make money that way,.....

I can see the media narrative all ready. "Dell accepts bitcoin. Goes bankrupt." 

Holy crap.
Newegg accept BTC?
Wow.
I didn't even realize this.
I heard DELL now accepts BTC!

This list is so huge. Love it! The more big companies we have in this list then more bitcoin price will be. Congrats Dell.com with joining our family!

I think it will take some time before the really big companies will start accepting it. they usually are afraid of new things.

Thanks for this list, gonna be fun to watch this grow over the next year.

I've know about gyft.com accepting bitcoin but just checked out their website and was pretty impressed.  Seems like you can use their ios and android app to buy basically anything you want via bitcoins.  Sure its through gift cards, but it looks like they're stored on your phone and available immediately.

Think I'll test it out with Amazon.com this weekend.

http://www.gyft.com/blog/pay-bitcoin-gyft-ios-app/

Looks like they just started offering this feature from the iOS app, check out that link.

If Amazaon accept bitcoin, it will be Huge news of course :)

Wow. That list is already impressive!

Who would have thought 2-3 years ago that Bitcoin will have any chance to achieve this? The future looks bright.

You put foodler on there but not takeaway.com? wtf

i-P mart is pretty big in Malaysia and they recently announced that they would accept Bitcoins. Mart Tang, the CEO of i-Pmart is very supportive of the digital currency. Also Monoprix, one of the biggest supermarket chains in France is also accepting Bitcoin.

If bitcoin users were to purchase as much as they can from these businesses using only bitcoin then the argument for accepting bitcoin would be that much stronger.

It's nice to see all of these companies accepting the future. I just wish more "gaming" websites would start following and getting their butts on track. For example, Jagex, the company that runs RuneScape still hasn't even started talking about this. I think we can all agree that the user base of bitcoins are the ones that use the internet frequently. And what better people to start accepting bitcoins than gaming companies?

Hoping to see a list 10x this one end of the year.

this should show companies that by accepting bitcoin they can increase their revenue and cut costs associated with processing payments

Thanks, a list like this is badly needed.

Is it possible to add to each company some measure of how big it actually is? Some names are instantly recognizable, some not so much (to me anyway). Maybe also the date it started accepting Bitcoin.

I think there are a lot of bitcoin users who have started shopping at merchants for the sole reason that they accept bitcoin.

There was a great reaction when both overstock and expedia started accepting bitcoin and several people were saying that they hadn't purchased anything from them in the past but will now and would pay in bitcoin.

OP should include Dell. :)

I wonder which cell service company will be the first to accept BTC. I would really also like to see Samsung accept BTC

Latvian airline airBaltic has become the world’s first airline to accept Bitcoin as payment for its tickets to 60 destinations in Europe, Middle East, Russia and the CIS.

As announced recently, airBaltic achieved a net profit of EUR +1 million for the full year of 2013, one year ahead of the initial business turnaround schedule. airBaltic serves 60 destinations with direct flights from its home base in Riga, Latvia. From every one of these, airBaltic offers convenient connections via North Hub Riga to its network spanning Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, CIS and the Middle East.

Riga. 22.07.2014

WOW
Great news!
Initial lost from starting post is already great, plus Amazon and now even Air company...
If other companies continue to accept Bitcoin in short period of time, Bitcoin will very soon become mainstream and this will also increase the value of Bitcoin again, media will talks more about it, more people will become confident in bitcoin... .)
I can see bright future for Bitcoin.

Include PESOBANG.COM (http://PESOBANG.COM) soon!  ;D

...

Gold and other precious metals seller Provident Metals will be the FIFTH company I know of (in the USA) where you can buy gold, I read that they will accept BTC starting sometime in August:

www.providentmetals.com (http://www.providentmetals.com)

As far as I know they are the only ones who sell 1 kg gold bars (now approx. $42,000 each)...

Other recommended precious metals dealers who sell for BTC:

https://amagimetals.com/

https://agoracommodities.com/

https://www.goldsilverbitcoin.com/  <--- I bought a 0.25 oz Gold Eagle from them.

This week I saw Overstock.com's new commercial during Monday Night Football on ESPN (which was probably pretty expensive advertising), and on the last screen they say "now accepting Bitcoin"   

Pretty cool that it is making it's way to television ads

Anyone should update this list. Paypal and ebay are also accepting right now, right?

Microsoft and Time Inc. just added to the list.

I didn't hear about Time.   I was actually surprised to hear about Microsoft, I wasn't expecting adoption this soon from them.   Seems like the bigger corporations are tip toeing their way in...

It's very cheap and fast to accept Bitcoin payments and bear no risks so most websites will hopefully add the option to pay in Bitcoin soon.

What exactly does Time Inc. sell for bitcoins? Just magazines? Online subscriptions maybe?

I don't see the ability to pay with Bitcoin on their subscription page. For TIME magazine, that is.

wow bitcoin is popular in the world now , time to price back 1k is not far :)

Exactly!
Not just that, but more and more Bitcoin users asking companies like Microsoft (ith digital products or services) to offer bitcoin as way of payment.
So, if they want content users I don't think that they have a choice :)
Also, it's very simple to add bitcoin payment and there is no risk for them.

Hoping for Google and Facebook to jump on the train. That would actually mean something.

Bitcoin is like going to like the beginning of the Internet. The end is TO DA MOON ;D

How about paypal? payza?
they accept bitcoin too, right ???
and i heard zynga accept bitcoin too.

zynga accepted Bitcoin in 01/14 : http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-05/bitcoin-tops-1-000-again-on-adoption-by-zynga-amid-wider-usage.html

Mozzilla still accept donations

I think he is not considering donations, because wikipedia would have been included then.

Good point, but why skip donations...

I was about to say its time to update with MS lol.
In what sense does Time endorse Bitcoin?

FYI: https://www.coindesk.com/time-inc-becomes-first-major-magazine-publisher-accept-bitcoin/

Separate lists for merchants and donations?
