79% of US companies intend to use digital currencies

HP commissioned a survey among US commercial companies about their attitudes toward Bitcoin and other digital currencies. The results of the study were quite unexpected.

While some backward countries prohibit the use of bitcoin, 79% of US organizations advocated the use of digital currencies in their activities.

Moreover, 80% of 634 respondents expressed the opinion that in the future digital money will outperform paper money!

To be fair, it should be noted that the majority of respondents are employees of IT and information security departments, so almost all of them are well acquainted with Bitcoin, and some have already integrated Bitcoin into the daily activities of their companies. If we interviewed ordinary managers, the answers could be different.

The biggest problem Bitcoin respondents consider safety. The diagram shows how many respondents "fully agree" and simply "agree" with each of the statements. It can be seen that the most popular theses are the risks of authentication and transaction security.



60% of organizations said that digital currencies are "an important part of the company's electronic payment strategy."

Three-quarters of companies are going to introduce support for mobile payments in the near future, 59% want to run payment cards (stored value cards), and 43% have said directly that they will soon start accepting bitcoins.



A quarter of these innovative companies intend to activate support for bitcoins over the next two years, and 56% called the interval 5-10 years.
