Microsoft has resumed taking Bitcoin payments in it's stores after temporarily halting transactions earlier in the week. Microsoft has accepted Bitcoin payments since 2014, and has temporarily stopped using before. Once in 2015 and again in 2016.
In a statement to news.com.au on Wednesday, a Microsoft spokeswoman confirmed the suspension but said the service had now been restored.
“We’ve restored bitcoin as a payment option in our store after working with our provider to ensure lower bitcoin amounts would be redeemable by customers,” she said.
