Global shipping giant UPS may be considering accepting Bitcoin.
According to newly published patent filings, the company is examining a safe deposit box system that accepts payments in digital currencies. In addition to traditional payment systems, Bitcoin is listed as a payment method in the patent filings.
In more than 20 patent files published by the US Patent and Trademark Office in 2017, Bitcoin was mentioned as a possible payment option. This number has slightly decreased compared to 2016.
There are more than 50 patent files published by the brand office in the last two years showing Bitcoin as a payment method.
