Although there have been talks amongst Bitcoin enthusiasts about Twitch.tv possibly accepting Bitcoin payments at one point, we can now confirm the platform has indeed enabled Bitcoin as a payment option for channel subscriptions.
In a blog post earlier today, Twitch.tv confirmed they are now accepting a broader range of payment options for channel subscriptions, including Bitcoin and gift cards. A change has also been made as to how you purchase channel subscriptions, as 1-3-6 month packages are now available.
