Reelhouse is an online video community that enables filmmakers to self-distribute content directly to viewers. By integrating with Coinbase, Reelhouse has enabled viewers to buy any film on the platform with bitcoin. Reelhouse is passing the savings it receives from bitcoin sales directly to the content creators on the site, allowing content creators to get up to 30% more of the sale when a consumer pays in bitcoin. Digital content payments are a great use case for bitcoin and we are excited to work with an innovative digital content company like Reelhouse.

Mercury One, the charity organization of radio host Glenn Beck, is now accepting bitcoin for donations. The mission statement of Mercury One is “to inspire, organize and mobilize individuals to improve the human condition physically, emotionally and spiritually with malice towards none and charity for all.” Mercury One is the latest non-profit in a rapidly growing list of non-profit organizations to adopt bitcoin as a payment method. Bitcoin is a natural fit for non-profits because of its low-cost, global, and transparent nature.
