Companies (93 percent) that accept cryptocurrencies as a preferred payment method have reported significant gains, including an increase in revenues and a boost in their brand impression.

A sample of 2,000 senior executives from retail firms across the United States were included in the survey.

Majority Of Businesses Spend $1M To Improve Crypto Infrastructure

More than half of large US shops with revenues exceeding $500 million were spending at least $1 million on the system required to accept crypto payments, the research disclosed.
