Bitcoin just got another cheerleader.
The Sacramento Kings NBA team just became the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin, according to an announcement from payment processor BitPay.
Starting Thursday, BitPay spokeswoman Jan Jahosky said Kings fans can use bitcoins to buy merchandise at the team shop — located at the Sleep Train Arena.
Customers will be able to shop online for tickets and merchandise with bitcoins by March 1.
