StartEngine Starts Accepting Bitcoin For All Crowdfunding Offerings

Los Angeles-based StartEngine, the online crowdfunding marketplace which helps startups and other companies raise capital, said this morning that it has begun accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. StartEngine--which is taking advantage of the new SEC's new crowdfunding rules to help connect individual investors with companies--said investors can now make investments in any companies on its "funding portal" using Bitcoin. Previously, StartEngine had begun accepting Bitcoin for direct investment in companies that were accepting Bitcoin directly in their initial coin offerings (ICOs)--this update means investors can make Bitcoin investments in company, even those not using Bitcoin directly in their financing efforts.
