According to a report published on Sunday by London-based news outlet CityA.M, Amazon will start accepting Bitcoin as a payment option by the end of the year.

CityA.M claims that the information was disclosed by an insider from the e-commerce giant who wishes to remain anonymous.

The informant asserted that Bitcoin will be Amazon’s first move into the crypto world, and there are yet other plans to invest further into digital assets by enabling support for other cryptocurrencies in the future.

The internet titan is also looking to introduce its own digital currency, which could come into play in the first quarter of 2022, claimed the insider.

This adds to the excitement which was generated when the company announced vacancies for positions that require experts in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
