Buy a house with bitcoin

Bitcoin is back! Not that it ever really left, but these days, the cryptocurrency with the ballooning value has become a tad more mainstream.

Tesla recently announced that it will soon be accepting bitcoin as payment for its electric vehicles.

And there’s no better place to park your bitcoin-bought Tesla than in front of a home that you purchased with virtual currency.

With bitcoin on the brain, we spotted 11 listings across the country that declare they’re ready to accept cryptocurrency for full or partial payment.

Of course, you might be able to purchase any home for sale with the internet-based payment system. A buyer could always inquire whether a seller is hip to the cryptocurrency. However, in the case of the listings below, you can rest assured that a digital payment will be welcome.

As a refresher, Bitcoin is an online monetary system independent of governments or banks, meaning that transactions are more direct. Each payment is documented and verified through blockchain—an online, shared database.

The upside? Transactions are more direct and can be completed in minutes or days, rather than the traditional closing period of weeks or months. A downside? Capital gains tax can apply. And, of course, with the wild oscillations of the crypto market, the currency is still a risky bet.

But if you happen to have a few coins burning a hole in your (online) wallet, here’s a look at how you could spend them. (Spoiler alert: Hope you like Florida.)

To give a sense of how much online coin you’d be parting with, we included a dollar-to-bitcoin currency conversion, calculated on Feb. 11, 2021. Prices range from the affordable to the aspirational, from cute condos to a massive Manhattan mansion. Take a look.
