This makes the Kings the first major league sports team of any sort to accept Bitcoin.
The Kings will be accepting Bitcoin through BitPay which touts over 20,000 clients accepting Bitcoins through their system.
Tony Gallippi, co-founder and CEO of BitPay was quoted in the press release as saying “We make it easy for businesses like the Sacramento Kings to accept bitcoin as a form of payment both in-person and online”. He continued “As the first professional sports team to accept bitcoin, the Sacramento Kings continue to show that they are at the intersection of sports and technology.”
All of us at Crypto Pros applaud the Kings and their new owner Vivek Ranadivé for their pioneering move and we hope for, and look forward to, other teams following suite soon.
