Big Brands That Accept Crypto — Pay with Bitcoin at Real Stores in 2026
April 5, 2026 · By Crypto Research Team
Spending cryptocurrency used to mean hunting for obscure online stores. That’s no longer the case. In 2026, a growing number of recognizable brands — luxury watchmakers, department stores, furniture retailers, auction houses, and more — accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins at checkout. This post covers real, verified merchants by category, with notes on which coins each accepts.
Luxury Fashion and Department Stores
FARFETCH is one of the largest luxury fashion marketplaces in the world, and it accepts BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC in supported regions. You can pay with crypto across hundreds of designer brands through a single checkout — one of the most straightforward ways to spend Bitcoin on high-end fashion.
Printemps is a flagship French department store with a presence across France. It accepts BTC and ETH for purchases spanning luxury fashion, beauty, and home goods — a partnership enabled through Binance. If you’re in Paris and paying with crypto, this is where to go.
Watches: Swiss Brands and Pre-Owned Dealers
The watch industry has been among the most willing to accept crypto payments, likely because buyers are already comfortable with large, high-consideration transactions.
Hublot — the iconic Swiss luxury watchmaker — accepts Bitcoin and 11 other cryptocurrencies through its US online boutique via BitPay. TAG Heuer has done the same: BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, and USDC are all accepted via BitPay on its online store.
For pre-owned and certified watches, Gray & Sons Jewelers in Miami accepts Bitcoin directly for Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and other premium brands. Ace Jewelers handles jewelry and watches, accepting BTC, ETH, and LTC via BitPay. Ben Watches, based in Gibraltar, goes further — accepting BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, LTC, and DOGE.

Vehicles: Ferrari Accepts Bitcoin
Ferrari made headlines when it became one of the first major automakers to accept cryptocurrency payments. US dealerships now accept BTC, ETH, and USDC via BitPay. It’s perhaps the most dramatic example of a legacy luxury brand embracing crypto payments for big-ticket purchases.
Home Goods and Furniture
Overstock was one of the very first large retailers to accept Bitcoin — it has been doing so since the early days of crypto adoption. Today it accepts BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR, and BCH for furniture and home goods. Rooms To Go, one of America’s largest furniture chains, also accepts crypto via BitPay, taking BTC, ETH, LTC, USDC, and DOGE online and in-store.
For the luxury end of the home decor market, Juliettes Interiors is a UK-based retailer of high-end furniture and interiors — the first luxury interiors brand in Britain to accept Bitcoin.
