Big retailers are especially likely to accept crypto as a form of payment, as 85% of businesses with more than $1 billion in annual online sales say they accept some form of crypto-enabled payment method.

Among smaller merchants — those with $250 million to $1 billion in annual online sales — just 23% accept crypto for purchases.
