The oldest wine shop in America is now accepting Bitcoin payments at wine auctions and retail.
Established in 1820, Acker is the world’s largest rare and fine wine auction house, running weekly online auctions in which collectors sell rare and luxury wines.
The company will now be accepting a range of cryptocurrencies at retail and auction; in addition to Bitcoin, buyers can pay in Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Dogecoin. It also accepts certain stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies, such as the US dollar—including PAX, Gemini Dollar and BUSD.

Acker is utilizing crypto payment processor BitPay to process the cryptocurrency payments, with BitPay receiving the crypto payments and converting them into fiat money for the merchant.
The company has also added Bitcoin and Ethereum to its Acker Markets analytics platform, which compares wine auction intelligence from producers, vintages and regions in the wine auction market to other financial markets.
Describing cryptocurrencies as “no longer a passing fad,” Acker chairman John Kapon said in a release that, “As one of the oldest licensed businesses in America, Acker is proud to accept this novel form of payment as we continue to evolve in our third century as a company”.
Kapon added that the company may make further announcements in the digital space in the near future.
BitPay has been gaining traction across a wide range of retailers in recent months. Earlier this month, the Bobby Hotel, a boutique hotel in Nashville, announced that it was accepting cryptocurrency payments through the processor. As to whether anyone will take advantage of the option to pay in crypto, the jury’s still out.
Bitcoin has plunged to its lowest levels—nearly erasing all its post-election gains—as escalating trade tensions fuel global market panic. The Bitcoin price fell as low as $74,500 during early Asia hours Monday, marking a 6.5% fall in the past 24 hours and more than 5.8% over the week, CoinGecko data shows. As of now, Bitcoin has clawed back slightly to hover near $77,179, but analysts warn that deeper losses may lie ahead. The downturn follows a turbulent weekend triggered by President Donald T...
In 2025, centralized exchanges face a new set of challenges and risks in listing new tokens. Entirely new narratives and types of ecosystems, such as GameFi and SocialFi, have emerged. Meanwhile, speculative meme coins have risen to prominence as platforms like Solana’s Pump.fun have made launching new tokens easier and more democratic than ever before. Amid this rapidly evolving space, traders and investors understandably want to be able to access new cryptocurrencies as soon as possible. This...
UFC champion and celebrity Conor McGregor's crypto token failed to launch after raising only 39% of its minimum fundraising target during its 28-hour presale period that ended Sunday. The token, developed by Real World Gaming DAO (RWG), secured just $392,315 in USDC from 668 bidders, falling far short of the $1,008,000 minimum requirement to proceed with the launch. Following the auction's close, RWG stated on X that it "didn't hit" its minimum raise, adding that all the bids would be "refunded...
