Uber will accept payment in cryptocurrency

Uber intends to begin accepting cryptocurrency payments in the future, said company CEO Dara Khosrowshahi intalking to Bloomberg.

“We talk about it all the time. Bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies are quite valuable as a store of value.”- he said.

At the same time, Khosrowshahi noted that as a means of payment, cryptocurrencies are still untenable due to high costs and environmental impact.

“As they become cheaper and morehave less environmental impact as a means of payment, I think we'll lean a little more towards them. Will Uber accept cryptocurrencies in the future? Certainly. At a certain moment. This moment has not yet arrived, but it will come,- added the CEO of Uber.

In September 2021, Khosrowshahi ruled out including bitcoin in Uber’s reserves following Tesla’s example, stating that the company prefers to “keep its money safe.”
