  Hi there,

  Currently we are not able to accept Bitcoin for payments on domains and premium themes. I do apologize for the inconvenience.

  Cheers!

  That’s a shame. It got me by surprise. When is this going to change?

  I can’t say (because I don’t know), but I also couldn’t say (for confidentiality reasons with our vendors).

  I do know that increasing payment options on every purchase is a goal that we have, so I know it’s on the list, but the “when” I just can’t provide any kind of timeline.
