“Since online retailer TigerDirect has started accepting Bitcoins about 3 days ago, they have processed more then half a million dollars worth of purchases where Bitcoin was used as a payment method. The amount was spent in more then 2500 orders. They told us earlier that they got $250,000 in sales in the first 17 hours of accepting the payment method. They have just sent us these new statistics after reaching the $500,000 milestone. The company processes about $2 billion worth of purchases each year.”
