Beverly Hills mansion listed for sale with Bitcoin as payment option

In Beverly Hills, a mansion is on sale for $65 million, with Bitcoin among the payment options, according to Forbes.

At the time of writing, the price in Bitcoin is around 1,930 BTC. A purchase in Bitcoin would make the deal the largest in real estate to be paid with digital assets.

\n\n

“We are seeing a trend of sellers who are open to payment in cryptocurrency,” said real estate agent Aaron Kirman.

\n\n

According to Luxford Development Group founder Michael Chen, digital assets are gaining traction in such deals because they are “simpler, faster and cheaper.”

\n\n

The 18,000-square-foot mansion (about 1,670 square metres) is located in the Trousdale Estates neighbourhood, home to actress Jennifer Aniston, talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres and other celebrities.

\n\n

Earlier this month, a Miami penthouse was sold for a record $22.5 million in cryptocurrency.

In April, Caruso, billionaire Rick Caruso’s development company, announced that it would accept Bitcoin as rent for residential and commercial real estate.
