How entries are checked
The method, the status vocabulary and the decay rules are published in full at The Acceptance Standard. An entry is verified only when the company's own current material says it accepts cryptocurrency. A third party repeating the claim, including a publication citing this register, does not count.
Corrections
Corrections are published, not overwritten, at the Correction Log. The most common failure patterns are documented at How a Crypto Acceptance Claim Fails.
Limits
Acceptance changes quietly. A verified row is a statement about the date in last_checked, not about today. Confirm directly with the company before you rely on any entry for a purchase.
License
Version 1.3 is published under CC BY 4.0, as deposited with its DOI. The access form above asks who is using the data; it adds no restriction to that license.
The change feed
This file is the register as it stood on 22 August 2026. What moved since, and against which source, is kept in a separate monthly change feed: register changes plus every published correction, each dated and sourced. The change feed and editions after 1.3 are not covered by the license above. A Desk license for one named reader is available online; display, redistribution and training terms are at bitcoinionaire.com/license.
