Microsoft denies stopping accepting Bitcoin payments, says previous news was a false alarm

Beijing time, March 15, according to a report by foreign technology website SoftPedia, Microsoft updated the Windows App Store Q&A page last weekend. According to the new news, Microsoft Windows 10 Store and Windows 10 Mobile Store will no longer accept Bitcoin payments. After the news was released, various media speculations were triggered, and some media also shouted slogans such as "Digital currency is no longer popular". Now it seems that this is just an error in the Windows Q&A page.

In other words, Microsoft will continue to support Bitcoin payments. In a statement sent to SoftPedia, Microsoft said: "We will continue to support Bitcoin payments, and users can recharge Bitcoin to their Microsoft accounts and use it to purchase content in Windows and Xbox stores. We apologize for the inaccurate information that was previously posted on the website due to negligence, and we are currently correcting the erroneous information."

This is undoubtedly good news for users who use Bitcoin to purchase applications, and it also shows that Microsoft has kept its commitment to Bitcoin. Microsoft announced support for Bitcoin payments in 2014, and when the error message was released, some media and users were confused for a while, not sure why Microsoft would be so fickle.

Another possible scenario is that Microsoft did decide not to support Bitcoin payments, but changed its mind due to fierce criticism during the weekend. We have no way of knowing the truth, but in any case, it is definitely good news that Microsoft continues to support Bitcoin in its latest operating system. (Compiled by Yang Fan)
