Billionaire space race just got a blockchain upgrade. Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin announced today it will accept Bitcoin payments for future spaceflights—because what better way to spend your volatile crypto gains than on a rocket ride?

When Lambo? Try When Moon—Literally

With tickets historically costing $1-2 million, this marks the first time prospective astronauts can pay using digital assets. Just don't try paying in Dogecoin... yet.

Wall Street analysts are already joking about 'astronomical transaction fees' being more literal than ever. Because in space, no one can hear your FOMO.

Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ $180 billion space company, has started accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment for trips aboard its New Shepard rocket. Powered by Shift4 Payments, customers can now book commercial spaceflights using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins. This option aims to simplify transactions and tap into crypto users wanting a new way to pay for space tourism. The move reflects growing demand for secure and flexible digital payment options in innovative industries as of August 11, 2025.
