Online retail giant Overstock has announced plans to pay a portion of its annual taxes using Bitcoin this year.

The move sees Overstock paying a portion of its state taxes in Ohio using Bitcoin in a pair of ‘firsts.’ Ohio became the first state in the United States last year to allow taxes to be paid in Bitcoin, while Overstock becomes the first major company to take advantage of Ohio’s openness to cryptocurrency and pay its taxes via Bitcoin.

Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne said that his company was “proud to partner with forward-thinking governments and officials like Ohio and Treasurer Mandel to help usher in an era of trust through technology for our nation’s essential financial systems.”

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel praised Overstock “for becoming the first national brand in America to register to pay taxes via cryptocurrency.” “Their embrace of blockchain technology was ahead of its time and we’re proud to have them join OhioCrypto.com," he added.

Overstock is a staunch cryptocurrency supporter, and became the first major retailer to accept payments using the emerging asset class back in 2014. The company going all-in on cryptocurrency in other ways, as well. The company’s investment arm Medici Ventures helps to fund blockchain startups with potential, and Overstock is working on a security token trading platform dubbed tZERO.

Overstock's CEO plans to sell the e-commerce business to “cash in my chips and do this crypto stuff on my own.” The company even already has a webpage on blockchain technology and educates its customers on Bitcoin and how to shop with cryptocurrency on its website.
