Good morning,
Cryptocurrency is making its way further into the business world.
Starting yesterday, businesses in Ohio are now able to pay their taxes with bitcoin. The initiative allows businesses to pay for everything from “cigarette sales taxes to employee withholding taxes,” according to The Wall Street Journal. Ohio is the first state to take up the initiative.
The program is the brainchild of Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel, and it marks an attempt to make Ohio more tech-friendly. In fact, Columbus, is home to one of the largest venture capitalist firms, and Cleveland is trying to rebrand into a national tech hub.
For businesses to take part in the program, they need to go to OhioCrypto.com and register with whatever expenses their hearts desire.
