“Dell has received a more than 85 bitcoin order valued at $50,000, the largest order the computer maker has taken with the virtual currency. Michael Dell, chief executive of the company, announced the order for a PowerEdge server on Twitter Aug. 9. ‘I can confirm that the server order Mr. Dell tweeted about was the largest order with bitcoin as the payment method since we began accepting it in the U.S.,’ spokesman David Frink said in an email to CruxialCIO. Dell has been accepting payment in bitcoin since July, when it announced a partnership with payment processor Coinbase. As an incentive, Dell offers a 10 percent discount, up to $150, on Alienware products purchased with bitcoin.”
