“We are looking into expanding our bitcoin payment processing outside of the US, but have nothing more to share at this time,” a spokesperson said.
The comments follow suggestions by Microsoft users that the company had opened up its offering to users in the UK and Germany.
Microsoft first began accepting bitcoin as a payment option for select digital goods on 11th December, and has since been open about the factors that could influence the program’s expansion outside the US.
