Tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has resumed accepting Bitcoin (EXANTE: Bitcoin) as payment after temporarily halting transactions in the “unstable” cryptocurrency earlier this week, news.com.au reported.
“We’ve restored Bitcoin as a payment option in our store after working with our provider to ensure lower Bitcoin amounts would be redeemable by customers,” a Microsoft spokesperson said.
The restoration comes shortly after the company discreetly suspended the form of payment amid rising transaction fees and concerns over the currency’s volatility.
Microsoft first added Bitcoin payment option for digital products in 2014, allowing U.S. customers to use the digital currency to purchase content like apps, games and videos from its Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox platforms.
