8 Great Homes on the Market You Can Buy Right Now With Bitcoin

Although bitcoin isn’t quite as hot as it was in late 2017, it’s still accepted by savvy sellers who crave crypto.

Prior to the cryptocurrency crash of 2018, a Texas home purchased with bitcoin made headlines. The seller accepted the digital currency and then simply converted it into dollars, which can be done using a service called BitPay.

The transaction reportedly took place within 10 minutes. No 30-day close here!

With digital currency exchange rates on the decline, we wanted to see if sellers were still out there ready to do business on the blockchain. 

We found eight places for sale across the country, all waiting for a crypto-minded buyer. Prices range from out of reach to downright affordable. We also did the dollar-to-bitcoin exchange rate to inform bitcoin-inclined buyers exactly how many of their coins would be required. 

Have a look at how far your bitcoins will stretch on the housing market…
